Day Twenty-Two:  Saturday, January 22nd

I recently started reading a new series of books called the Elm Creek Quilt novels.  Awhile back my sister-in-law had recommended them but I never got around to reading them.  Then I saw her post something in reference to them and I decided to take a look.  I have breezed through the first 2 of them and am including reviews for them here on my blog.  This is a photo of one of the books, and the quilt (or replica of it) that inspired my love of quilts.

Day Twenty-Three: Sunday, January 23rd

Jayden’s first real sleepover with a friend happened this weekend.  His friend Sebastian came to spend the night with us and Chloe went to their house with his sister Sasha.  Both Jayden and Sebastian LOVE their video games!  I couldn’t help but capture this moment of them racing side by side.

Day Twenty-Four:  Monday, January 24th

A special Mommy cooked pancake breakfast due to our house guest.  This photo is a little blurry due to Ava’s fury of stirring she was doing!  She was enthralled by excessively stirring the pancake batter with the whisk!

Day Twenty-Five: Tuesday, January 25th

Chloe picked up a love of Origami from her friend Sasha.  So of course, in the first free moment she had she was off and running with her Origami shapes!

Day Twenty-Six:  Wednesday, January 26th

These are the makings of homemade Italian Wedding soup.  Tediously plopping out turkey meatballs is NOT my favorite pastime!  I do, however enjoy the end result.

Day Twenty-Seven: Thursday, January 27th

Ava’s very own snowman.  Jayden and Ava made a mini fleet of snowmen to “guard” Chloe’s igloo.
