So Yummy

This Cranberry-Orange bread is so yummy.   I found the recipe in a slow cooker book and just had to
try it to see if it would actually turn out.   (I was  a little skeptical). Anyway, it did turn out and we
love it.  It's scrumptous.   Just be sure to watch your slow cooker so it doesn't cook too much on
the sides.    I think it would go well for breakfast - maybe with the Christmas casserole and hot
chocolate.   mmmmm

:Happy Birthday party for Carli

Erin gave Carli a birthday party and
I think she really had a good time.
Her birthday was in Oct. but she didn't know the difference.   We gave her a princess costume and I think she liked it and felt pretty wearing it. What a cutie.

The Princess

This is her princess costume - dress, crown and jewelry.

Papa asked C to come sit by him, so she did.
I had to snap it fast because it didn't last long.
