"Home" made Eggrolls

One Sunday afternoon Jerry and the girls decided to try their hands at making homemade Eggrolls. So, everyone rolled up their "pajama" sleeves and grabbed a wrap. The girls did a great job measuring and sealing the eggrolls. (They had never eaten one before.)
We didn't have pork so we substituted it with ground beef. It still tasted really good!
Jerry taught the girls to keep the wraps wet so they wouldn't tear.
Jerry was sooo ready to cook and eat the eggrolls after working hard to make them that he forgot to read through the WHOLE recipe before making the eggrolls...they needed to be refridgerated for 4+ hours prior to cooking!! UGH
To say the least, the eggrolls still tasted awesome--the next day. Jerry loves trying news things...and the girls love to help Daddy try new things. Here is the finished product! They were delicious.

Look what I learned...

I am the Achievement Girl leader for our ward. And sometimes Courtney gets to "tag-along" when Daddy's gone. So, last night the girls learned the proper way to iron and then tried their hand at sewing buttons, snaps and a straight stitch. As you can see, Courtney participated and is quite "hooked" with the whole sewing deal.
Courtney had such fun practicing her snaps today that she ran to get her OWN shirt to fix the button. Her "purple" thread from last night would work JUST fine! Yeah.




Well, if you need a button to be sewn on--you know who to come to:) COURTNEY CAN DO IT!

The first SNOW in our new house!







This year we realized that when we CAN'T see the picnic table in the backyard, anymore, we have a lot of snow! Now, every snow, we send Daddy out to measure so we can brag (devestate others) about our inches:)



Here are my snow angels: Kimberly, Natalie and Courtney.

Later that day we found Daddy building his OWN snowman ;) SSSHHH!! He doesn't know...that WE know!
