Cooking Baking and Baby

My husband asked me twice on two different days, "Have you updated your blog yet?"

The second request made me realize it's been a while.  So, today, while the red sauce was cooking.  (A request by my husband as well.  He says it's better than restaurant red sauce  - Woot!) .. I decided to update my baking blog and Fleur de Aleta.

Have you ever tried the Greek dessert, Baklava?  It's sweet and yummy.  Greg and I made this for our contribution towards Thanksgiving meal at his family's home.  Did I mention that it's sweet?

I posted the Baklava recipe here.  Greg had me laughing a couple of times while we made it.  He swears he'll never do that again, because it does require some time.

For Christmas, I ordered an ornament for Gregory on Etsy.  Etsy rocks with it being small businesses.

Not long ago, the three of us went to JC Penny's and took family Christmas pictures!  The photographer did a good job with Gregory.  Whenever our son sees something new, he gets SO serious.  He wants to analyze everything.  Even a new toy.  Just today I put a new toy in his pac n play.  It was mixed in with his other toys.  A few hours later, I forgot the new toy was in there when I put Gregory in the pac n play what does he do?  He zoned STRAIGHT to the new toy!  He started talking to it and holding it in every different view that he could and then chewed on it.  Too funny.

Ok, back to the Christmas pictures.  We ordered the Christmas cards from them.  This is how they came out (I ordered the CD so that I could have all of the pictures.)
