Jon, Emma, Meera, Dennis & Clare, Mom & Ben.
It’s been a long long time since I had Christmas with my family, so this Christmas I was excited. Everybody was coming to Denver to celebrate the season. Jon came from WA and Mom & Ben & Meera came from CA for an unforgettable white Christmas. (more…)
We had all the ingredients in the pantry, so I made Christmas Chilaquiles. YUM!!!
My chilaquiles have shredded chicken, pepperjack cheese (or Manchego), tortilla chips, and salsa. Since it was so near Christmas, I decided to do it with green & red salsa.
We started Halloween with a Fun Run:
Emma did a 5k and Dennis & I did a 10k. Beauty of a day for running!
Then, later…
This year, we had 237 trick or treaters from the hours of 5:30-8pm. A new record, we doled out nearly 12 pounds of sweets. (more…)
When I was in grade school, I remember having a half day candy exchange and a costume party at school for Halloween. It was a day I looked forward to with great excitement. My parents did not believe in artificial sugar or color in a humans diet. The school holiday was my one exemption from a year long suppression of sugary sweets.
At Emma’s school, they have something called “Fall Break”. I’m not sure if it just happens to coincide with Halloween, or if it is on purpose. In any event, she had 28-30th of October OFF! Thus, the school entirely avoided Halloween. No dealings with costumes or candy. What clever administrators. (more…)
Dennis & I have never carved pumpkins together, in nearly 7 years of being married! We came to this realization as we were carving them on Friday night. Thanks to Halloween Radio for providing free spooky tunes!!! (more…)
