Our Sandra Boynton book collection is 28 books strong! There are a few in our massive collection not pictured here because they are bath or car books.... and believe it or not there are even more out there - Two of which show up on the back of some of the books and Aiden inevitably asks for them (the Wake Up one with the lion and the Birthday Monsters). We even have three cds worth of Boynton's silly music. The hippos hooked us, but they really are favorites.
The adorable book ornaments my mom made with velcro, so they could come off the tree to be read. They are the sweetest little illustrations and there is even a story with hippos! I'm so excited that Gran and the library book sale gave us some new family treasures. Aiden was so happy to have his own tree and still talks about it.
Aiden's car collection included this daredevil launch for the dressed up version of Mater. I was able to cram it in my already too full luggage so it made it home from Gran and Pop's house. The rest of the toys delivered by santa to their house will come our way in February - yay!
Snowman pancakes - no need for molds (which btw ARE easier if you spray them and heat them up with your pan ahead of time) - This is mommy's batch from xmas day:
Quinoa added to crock pot chicken - Simmer crock pot chicken in a little seasoned broth, then in the last hour add the quinoa. It's so yummy and simple!
"Haut Dogs" made it into this swanky food catalog!? These are an O family holiday tradition and believe me you can make the little smokie and crescent versions for a lot less mula. But I'm excited they are considered "the new foie gras" - ha!
