Family Memories

My grandpa was my best friend growing up. We enjoyed great times together. One of his recipes that he passed down to us from his old country was Goulash. This is his very own Goulash recipe. We always enjoyed it together.
Grandpa's Goulash
Bacon
Cabbage
Dumplings
I cook the bacon in the oven, in the cake pan. In the mean time I boil my cabbage and make my dumplings. I put it all together and put it in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
Enjoy!

Family Favorite

 A Charlie Brown Christmas! 
This is one of our favorites. As we start to get into the swing of the busy Christmas season, take time to remember what Christmas is all about!

December

December is my favorite month. I love December because my birthday is in December. Christmas is in December. December is pretty!! It snows in December. You see family and friends in December. On cold winter nights in December, you can have the tree light, the fire place blazing and a Christmas movie playing. 

Making December Pretty...
We have attended the Rice Lake Christmas Parade for 14 years! I love the creativity that they all put into it!
Christmas lights are so much fun. We usually go for a drive to look at lights with the boys. We also go to Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls and walk the park. It is amazing! I will post the photo's after our night out.
The following photos are from this years Rice Lake Christmas Parade.





Snow! Usually December brings the first snow fall. We received ours last night!
Happy December to you!
my birthday is December 12th! 12/12.....yes, next year 12/12//12!  I just can not help but be excited about it!
