The Baxa’s

We’ve been busy around these parts. Playing, baking, cleaning and what not. Here are some pictures of all our fun.

Having a good time.

Knitting. I knit these two scarves for Madeleine and Quinn’s bus drivers.

Losing teeth.

The Christmas program at church.

And, let’s not forget the baking. I will admit, I get just a little bit carried away at Christmas.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

We hosted our first Thanksgiving for the Baxa/Waldvogel clan this year. I think it was a success. Our turkeys turned out wonderful, we brined two birds, in different brines. They were super tasty, cooked on the Weber grill.

The kids really enjoyed seeing their cousins. Especially Madeleine, loving on Danny Jr. and Kate. She told me yesterday “Aunt Sharon said she could come pick me up to watch Danny Jr.” after she asked the day before if she was old enough to “watch Danny Jr.”. That would be scary.

And Quinn was especially sad to see Grandpa Baxa and Grandma Barbie leave. He loves spending time with them. But no worries, he keeps telling me how they are having two sleepovers at Christmas.

We sure are thankful for all we have. 

I think I’m in love! From her beautiful, glossy, deep cinnamon color, to the pour guard, to the fast, easy mixing! She is a beauty. How did I live without her for all these years?! 

She mixes all the way to the bottom, I only had to scrape the bowl twice, and she even mixes in the chips! No more mixing in the chips by hand for me!

Here’s the finished product.

Oh, you want to see more pictures of my beauty? Here they are.

I have a knitting update, and Thanksgiving to post about. But, I don’t have time for that right now. 

I have to take this beauty for a test drive!

I’ll let you know how she does.
