Happy February 1st! January just flew on by don't you think? I'm still feeling happy with myself for getting the blog updated during that long MIA stretch around the holiday season. Let's keep the posting party going right? It was a NICE weekend here in MN. After a few weeks of long frigid tundra days, it was so nice to have some 30+ degree days! We were able to wash our cars and get out and enjoy the little bit of snow that remains (although, we're going to get some fresh snow tomorrow)
Saturday we trekked down the street to the park for some good old fashioned sledding. It was a blast!
Saturday night we headed to Dan's Bar in New Trier, the tiniest little town just south and east of OUR tiny little town. It was SO BUSY! And SO loud. We left and I told Jay we must be getting old to complain about how loud it is during dinner. :) Especially when we were dining at 5 p.m. HA!
Sunday, Ella woke up with some sneezy, runny nose crap. Yuck. But, we made it to Sunday School and we spent time outside building a SnowGIRL. We all took part! Jay and Ella did most of the building and I helped with the head and getting her all decorated. Ella gave her a name but now I can't remember what it is!!
I baked two delicious things this weekend. The first was a last minute find on Pinterest. Ella wanted chocolate cake on Friday night for dessert. We compromised and I made a hot fudge cake. You guys, it was so easy and super delicious - however, you must serve it with vanilla ice cream! Otherwise I think the chocolately-ness could be too much. Try it!! I didn't take any pictures, but it looked pretty much like the picture in the link of the recipe pinner. http://www.afamilyfeast.com/hot-fudge-pudding-cake/
Yesterday afternoon, I decided we should make some banana bread. But, we had some blueberries too, so we made another delicious find from Pinterest! It got rave reviews from Jay and Ella. YUM! Again, no pictures of my own bread (boo!) http://www.crazyforcrust.com/2015/04/cinnamon-sugar-blueberry-banana-bread/
Let's see what the groundhog does tomorrow!
