Oh Deer!

There has been a deer invasion at the White house.

One morning I woke up, and went into the kitchen to make some breakfast. I could hear something in our backyard, so I went to the window to check it out.

Scared me to death!

 These were the two guys who started it all, then they went back and told their little deer friends and now we have five of them. 

 This guy likes to chill out on our front porch

 They're kind of like our family pets now. They all have names and everything.

I may or may not have been feeding them carrots. I'm hoping the whole "if you feed them, they'll keep coming back" cat theory applies here

My Husband = Christmas Home Decorator

Trevor is definitely getting into the christmas mood this year. It all started with putting up the christmas tree, and then lead to various other items around the house (all his idea, WAY impressed)

Then one day, he started cutting off limbs from the stump of our christmas tree. I guess I didn't catch the vision at first... so Trevor just went to town and did the whole thing by himself. He is so awesome and these cute little snow men turned out so perfect!  

The finished product. Mr. and Mrs. Snowman. (guess who's is who's)

Mission Accomplished

I have such a happy place when I'm cooking in the kitchen, singing and dancing to music. It seems like the food always turns out better when you're listening to a good song. My usual song of choice is this (best ever, try it out), but now that it's Christmas time Trevor and I busted out Anne Murray and all of the other Christmas goods. So I have been WAY in the cooking mood lately with all of this fun music playing. 

Ever since I first started dating Trevor, I have love loved his mom's chicken noodle soup, and was determined to try making it someday. When we got married I was lucky enough to get the golden Satterthwaite family cook book.. (this may or may not be among some of the reasons I married Trevor).. so now I had my chance. It definitely doesn't compare with Kris and Julie's, but I totally did it!

Trevor was so cute and helped me out the whole time.

Then of course we had to finish it off with a game of rummy. Such a fun night!
