I Cooked!

I hopped houses for most of the holidays, between the Henrys and the Veldhorsts. Looking back, I've been adopted into quite a few families in my lifetime. Some would say I'm a "moocher" or more nicely put, just a "wanderer." I greatly enjoy the times I spend absorbed into other families. I'm grateful for a team that absorbs me. The second time around, Christmas felt more like Christmas here. I think part of that was the family I have around me. And part of it was helping with the preparing food, cooking, washing dishes, getting up early to play Legos with a favorite kid, watching endless hours of Pirates of the Caribbean, drinking wassail while watching Little Women surrounded by girly gils, and sleeping long hours. I thought I'd share a few of my cooking creations with you!
