Christmas Day and the Start of New Traditions

Today I decided I would prepare the menu for our Christmas Day. That way if I was going to use a new recipe I could make a practice batch before hand. Our menu is as follows:

Breakfast
Fruity Swiss Muesli
(this is not set in stone, I'm still on the look out for another good breakfast recipe. I'm not sure Luis will like this dish. I'm going to make it this weekend to find out).
Toast
O.J

Dinner
Leg of Lamb ( I'm still working on the recipe)
Greenbeans & shallots
Sweet Potatoes
Herbed Stuffing (I'm also still working on the recipe)
Green Salad w/ an oil, salt and lemon dressing
Dinner Rolls

Dessert
Cookies

Christmas Craft Gone Awry

For the past month I have been dilligently working on Hailey's Christmas present. I has so excited to finish it. At last it was complete. I tried it on Q'Ori to see how it looked. I made it too small. All that work and it won't even fit. It fits Suri. I'm not sure what I did wrong, besides use different yarn than the pattern called for. Anyways, I thought I display the knitted top that I spent so much time working on. Sadly, now I won't have any time to make her something else. I enjoy knitting, even though I am not very fast at it. Here is the picture of my project gone awry. Hopefully the Christmas stocking and Nightgown I'm working on now will not only fit properly, but look good.

Offer on a House

We have been in the process of looking for a house. It's a lot of work, and I'm amazed at how many horrible houses there are out their. Anyways, we found a beautiful house and we are making an offer. The house is a short sale, so it could be a while before we hear anything, but I think this house is worth it. Here are a couple of pictures of the house. The house has 4 bdrm 2 full bath and 1 half bath and is about 2000 sqft.

Novela - Destilando Amor

At our house we love Novelas (Spanish Soap Operas). Here is a picture of Suri and Luis, watching "Destilando Amor" together.

Here is a youtube link to our favorite novela. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgR5-hffOQw This video is the main actress singing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcX_cx96JWs
