Cole and Maya (a girl from our neighborhood that we carpool with for religion class). They (along with others) played music at church for an hour before mass and during mass. And, in the next photo...let the unwrapping begin!!!

We decided to make some rosettes today. After about half of the usual batter, we mixed in some molasses, ginger, cinnamon & cloves, to try making them gingerbread flavored. I've still got a cold, so I'm not sure whether they're yummy or not.

I woke up with a pretty bad sinus infection or maybe it's a cold. Annie helped me make some noodles & veggie broth for us to share.

Today we finally got to see Joe!! He came home from deployment. We made a sign for him and they kids were so excited to see him. We even got interviewed for the news but we got bumped off once they got footage of the 1st open Gay kiss. Joe was almost the last person to get off the ship we were waiting in the rain and it got cold.

Vaughn went with me today to donate blood...it was his first time donating. Do you donate blood? Why or why not?
