holidays

halloween was a success! hendrix was a monkey. a darling monkey who snorted like a pig. he has a cold. we never quite got the pumpkins carved, but we did go trick or treating. hendrix had a hard time understanding why we were not going into everyone's house who gave us candy. he wanted to make some new friends, i guess. on saturday, we had a big family supper at the house and my cousin joined us. we ate jambalaya, kielbasa with spinach & roasted squash, and chocolate chip pecan pie. it was delicious. now onto thanksgiving. and then christmas! for some reason, i am really looking forward to christmas this year. i think because hendrix is at the age were he truly appreciates everything. including gifts and sweet treats. i got a few hours to myself this saturday and got all of my cookie tins, a new christmas tree, and a few decorations at new life thrift's holiday store. that place is amazing. hopefully, you all are enjoying getting ready for the holidays. be sure to sign up for craft night on november 19th and you can try my pumpkin chocolate tiramisu.
