Happy Birthday, Max!

I can't believe it's already been two years...I remember thinking that my life would never be the same again...little did I know how right I was! Max has been into Elmo, Justin Bieber, Spiderman, Super Why, Sesame Street,...
broccoli, green beans, deviled eggs, Chinese porridge,
cake pops, dog-o's, chocalicky, friends...nursery, sleeping in his own big bed...Goodnight moon, Book of Mornin' and prayers.
We had some scheduling conflicts...so, his birthday party will be next Saturday. Not to be too cheesy...but to quote Sound of Music, I must have done something good...to deserve such a wonderful son, he brings laughter and joy to our lives everyday! Happy birthday, Max!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year from the Phillips fam!
We completed the New Year's Eve tradition of running around the house barefoot. Only Eric and I dared make the run this year. I think the fact that it was negative ten (seriously) deterred everybody else. Our feet still haven't recovered and it is STILL painful to walk. If I end up with Roulon Gardner toes over this so help me!

The snow was so deep that I got stuck in a drift. I yelled for Eric to help but he was gone! I had to tunnel my way back to the door.

I made Gingerbread s'mores with Gingerbread graham crackers...to die for!!!!
Gingerbread 'mallows in Julie's famous hot chocolate....so good!!!

Eric and Chuck did "TIMTAM SLAMS," Tim Tams are a chocolate cookie that melts as you suck hot chocolate through them. They are a tasty messy delicious treat.
