Best Crepes Ever!
This crepe recipe has been a long time favorite for our family. However, the addition of fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, and Yoplait Creamy Vanilla yogurt (yes it has to be Yoplait) made them the best crepes ever!!! We just can't get enough of these tasty treats.
Crepe Recipe:
2 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup flour (we even use white-whole-wheat flour)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1.Combine eggs, milk, flour, oil, and salt; beat till well mixed. Heat a lightly buttered skillet; spoon or pour in desired amount of batter(depending on the size of crepes you want). Lift and tilt skillet to spread batter around making the crepe thin; brown only one side. Remove crepe to separate plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Re-butter skillet occasionally.
2. spoon in yogurt, and fruit; roll; enjoy!

California Dreamin'
Audrey was so excited to try her new swimsuit on! She ran around dancing and twirling in it...then asked me to take her picture in it. I don't know where she picked up those modeling moves? I just told her to stand over in one spot, and this is what she came up with.
Wishing it were warm!!!!
Dreaming of a beach off the coast of California!

Winter Fun
The luge is back! And better than ever!
It starts at the top of our yard, goes to the corner, and continues to the end of the block. It is so much fun!
This year we decided to make two runs. One (on the right) that is for the more daring person as it makes a pretty sharp turn at the fire hydrant, and the second (left) that is for the whole family.
Winter is not complete without your very own frosty. (who has since melted,and been covered with a couple feet of new snow...sorry Frosty)

A Little Bit of Christmas and a Lot-a-Bit of Thomas
Generally people post their Christmas blog before their New Year's blog...but lets face it, I am a slacker when it comes to getting my photos onto my computer and into a blog. So here is a little bit of Christmas in January.
Matching Pajamas for Christmas Eve. Audrey went first opening her one gift on Christmas Eve, and found these amazing pajamas. Derek saw them and was excited to open his own gift (hoping they were the same pajamas, since he is such a pajama lover). Much to his surprise, and his parents, he opened a pair of new gloves and shouted, "Ooooh new gloves!" Then a little more solemnly, "do I get pajamas too?" I had accidentally given Derek the wrong gift, so he got to open two on Christmas Eve.
Santa brought Derek Tidmouth Sheds with an accompanying turntable and bridge for Christmas.
On the girlier side, Santa brought Audrey a baby doll set.
When we got home from Colorado, we had another little Christmas with my side of the family. Thanks to Nana & Papa, and Baby Kai Derek's Thomas OBSESSION was fed!
Crazy Thomas and Friends lunch foods and accessories from Japan.

What Do Batman, Puke, and Football Have in Common?
Answer: They were all part of our New Year's Day celebration. I don't even need to say more without knowing that you are all so jealous, right? Well I will explain anyway.
Batman: A.K.A Derek. He is in love with his Batman Pajamas. When he is wearing them he runs around the house singing the Batman theme and refusing to answer to anything but "Hey Batman."
Puke: I [Elizabeth] hosted a porcelain party for my New Year's celebration. I had some terrible 24 hour virus that made me nauseous and puking my guts out (I know you all appreciate these details) all day. I thought I was dying!
Football: Bowl Games! It was mostly Christian watching these, as I wasn't in any condition to focus on football, but a day full of football is always fun.
