Weekending (post-Christmas style)....

Whew!  Happy 2015!!  We are hopeful for a wonderful year ahead.  This morning was a big wake up call - back to the routines people!!  I have a feeling this week will feel like a long one!  We had a good relaxing weekend.  Lots of time to snuggle in new blankets gifted to us and Ella had lots of time to enjoy her new toys!

Like singing karaoke on her new FROZEN karaoke machine....

Even singing duet with Dad!

And keeping warm in a super soft new robe WHILE singing karaoke!

And spending lots of time playing Sands Alive (a/k/a "squishy" sand)

I baked scratch cinnamon rolls using The Pioneer Woman's recipe!  Here is the link to the recipe.  I'm told the full recipe yields LOTS of rolls, so I halved it for my first attempt.  I was able to get 2 full pie pans plus 3 extra rolls.  :)  Here's a picture of my results - they were a yummy morning breakfast!
