Well my dream has finally come true! I finally have my very own Kitchenaid mixer. A Heavy Duty Plus 5 quart mixer to be exact! She has a 325 watt motor and a heavy duty transmission. I have not named her yet, we are still getting to know each other. I have made countless batches of cookies, mashed potatoes, hummingbird cake, banana bread pudding, spinach dip and breakfast pie! I have only had the mixer a little over a week!! Needless to say I have been very busy. Tom and Jack love to share in the baking too! We will continue to think of a name that suits her and give you a formal introduction when we have one. What a nice Christmas/Birthday present! Thanks Mom and Bob! As if I wasn't already the luckiest girl around getting my mixer... Adam bought me tickets to the March Billy Joel show for my birthday! He will be coming to the Bradley Center, it should be a great show. I have always wanted to see him as he is one of my favorite artists of all time. You can imagine the shock when Adam told me- I didn't even know that he was coming to town!
Yesterday we took advantage of the wintry weather and stayed inside and put up the Christmas decorations. I decorated a lot because Jack is very into Christmas this year. I think it will be the first year that he really understands and can look forward to it. Tom has been busy at school and has started to learn to read. He has a few little books from school that he reads. At this point it is more memorization but I am told that is the way they begin. He is very proud of his new abilities!! That is all I have for now. I hope everyone is well and getting into the holiday spirit!!
