Cole & Claire Bear Report

So I have been cooking like a mad women lately. I dont know why but it seems to calm me, along with gives me a sense of accomplishment! I just in the last week have made: ny strip steak with terragon sause, red lobset bisquits,christmas cookies, toffee gooey butter, gooey butter cookies, and carmel chocholate brownies! A few I will definity make again, and some I will ahve to change when I cook them next. I right now in my kitchen have brownies, christmas cookies and gooey butter cookies. All needing a home!! Here's a picture of my christmas cookies!! I am going to take some to both families and see if they like them! Mark sure did!! So far cooking wise I think my favorites in no particular order were: Terragon steak, oven fried chicken and the meatloaf! This week I am goign to try break pudding and once I get my pan a special apple pie by alton brown!! ;-)

Cole has been walking a little bit now! He will walk to me from something, or take a few steps on his own! I can't wait to see him walk all the time! He is learning so many new words, and now does the sign for all done/all gone. He likes to eat so I had to go all gone before he learned all done ;-) We went to little gym on Saturday morning, and he took a few steps there. He was walking to a little girl named Peyton who he just seems to love! I enjoy taking him to little gym every week, it's nice to see him interact with some many kids! Plus he loves the balls and bubbles! Cole just seems to grow up more and more each day. The favorite part of my day is picking him up after work and seeing his face light up when he see me. Pretty much melts my heart!

So I saw on Stephanie's blog today ( a good friend of mine) that if you blog about the shutterfly cards you like you get 50 free Christmas Cards!! Perfect!! You just have to blog about some of the ones you like and fill out this for! I do love shutterfly, we have used them for prints along with many photo books. My mother in law introduced us to shutterfly when she made us books when Cole was born and from my baby shower! Their books are so awesome! If you have never seen them before definitely check them out! I actually think I am going to do a calender this year with a ton of pictures of Cole for my office at work! He's pretty adorable, but I guess I am pretty biased! Look how cool these calendars are! These are my favorite cards below. I always love getting picture cards in the mail for Christmas. Those are always the ones that make it to our fridge. It is especially nice since we don’t get to see every one as much as we would like, and to be able to see kids grow! Here are ...
