• We went skiing for the first time this season. We need more snow, but it was still a blast.
• The boys are excited for the new season of Percy Jackson, we watch it as a family. I just finished Chad Powers, I liked it.
• Do you like eggnog? I don’t usually drink it, but Maria made these cookies and they are really good.
• How you cut garlic matters.
• What do you make for Christmas dinner every year?
