Hubs has worked hard today shoveling our driveway and the kids were anxious to get out and play in it.
After nap this afternoon, we bundled Turner and Lauren up and took them out for some fun in the snow. They got to ride their new dune racer around and they tried out their new snow tubes. They had a blast!
When they came inside, I had their hot cocoa ready, loaded with plenty of marshmallows of course! Cold weather always makes me crave hearty comfort food and tonight was no exception. I decided to make a large dish of Homemade Macaroni and Cheese. Mac and Cheese is always a winner in this house! I searched my recipe card box, and couldn't find my usual recipe so I googled 'Velveeta Mac and Cheese'. I not only found a new delicious recipe, but Google images had this pic posted in the search results:
I couldn't resist making this hot dog octopus and putting on top of the kids' plate of food tonight! Turner wouldn't touch it and said, "I'm not eating that!!" but Lauren enjoyed it very much. In fact, she ate two of the octopus hot dogs and had fun swirling the tentacles around in her ketchup before she devoured them.
This evening, I allowed the kids to dine in the living room beside the Christmas tree. We moved Lauren's little table and chair set out there and they thought that the small gesture was so cool. (One point for Mom!!) It won't be long, and all of our Christmas decor will be packed away for another year. I hate to see it go. We've all enjoyed the presence of our lighted tree very much.
