This weekend was definitely crazy! If you've already read my food blog post, you know what I was up to this weekend. I made all kinds of treats for my visiting teachees and other friends and family. There were 10 plates full of goodies plus 8 little bags for Sean's co-workers. I made four different kinds of fudge, oreo cakes, two different kinds of truffles (cookie dough and Sean's mom's secret recipe), and brownies topped with creamy cookie dough.
Everything was yum. We didn't really save any for us, thank goodness. It took us about 6 hours to finish everything and we had started it late so we were up til 2 am. Sean dipped the truffles but we didn't have a lot of dipping chocolate so some of the truffles turned out ugly but who cares, right? They still tasted heavenly. :) We delivered those plates last night. It was really fun. I liked doing it and will do it again next Christmas, for sure!
I finally got all the shopping done! I got Sean something that he's been begging for. He knows what I got... I know, it's lame. But none of us like secrets very much so we just got stuff that we really wanted so there won't be any big surprises. We got Matt a couple of outfits and a toy that he loves.
Let me entertain you a little with some pictures of Matthew trying on different hats. He normally doesn't like hats but he's opening up to them a little bit. I want to get him a hat and gloves but he wouldn't keep them on so I'm hoping he will start liking hats more so I can get them. They are so cute!
This is a Santa hat from last year. It still fits!
He's a silly Santa. :)
This hat is from Cattlemen's, a steak restaurant in town. They give away these hats to people on their birthdays. We've got like three of them at home. One day, Matt decided to put it on. It was cute because he was wearing a overall and he looked like a little farm boy.
Seriously, he poses for pictures now and I thought this was just way funny and cute.
We got him a haircut on Saturday. So this was his third time getting a haircut. He was fine the last two times but whoa, this time, it was the worst nightmare! He cried and cried. He moved like a little wiggly worm the whole time. Amazing Barber Bill, however, managed to give him a haircut, a GREAT haircut, I must say. We gave him a good tip. :) I love Matt's haircut. He looks so cute in short hair. He looks good in long hair, too, but when his hair is short, he looks much like a boy, rather than a baby. My baby is growing up - way too fast!! And he's going to be a teenager, then a missionary, then a husband and a father.... oh boy! Can he just stay a little baby like he is right now forever??? :)
