Holiday treats

Today I stayed home, the kids had friends over and we made our favorite holiday treats.  Christmas would not be the same with out our green holiday wreaths-they were always one of my favorite things my Aunt Kandy would bring on Christmas day. Now it's a tradition in my family, Jake and Jenna would not let me forget those. Also a tradition is home made toffee-I was exposed to George's Grandma's toffee recipe when we were dating. Now we make at least a couple of batches every year. A new treat this year is White Trash-the kids love it (my co-worker brought it to work last year and I liked it-so thought I would make it this year). Not sure if I will make that every year-I guess we will have to wait and see. For  now we will just eat!

We've already made 2 batches of the Green Holly Cookies. They are my absolute favorite, too. Glad we are both carrying on that tradition! :)

I've never heard of white trash. Sounds interesting. :0)

Crabs, Seattle and glass

More of our summer adventures with my parents.  Here are our glass creations from our glass blowing.  We went crabbing on day and caught several crabs-only one was a keeper though. We were excited about cooking our first crab ever. It was yummy!  We also spent a day in Seattle at Pike's Place  Mom in line to get her favorite piroskys. We can't leave Pike's with out getting amazing flowers for so cheap-$15 for this giant bouquet.

Weekend Trip to Stehekin

Image
This past week we took a little trip to Stehekin, a small little community that is only reachable by boat. It is located off the north west side of Lake Chelan. The place has no cell phone service, no TV's, no computers! How would we ever survive? I was very hesitant about going but after George begging me I caved and decided to go. We went with Jake's best friends family. Amazingly we had a great time and did not miss our electronics at all. There is very limited transportation there, to get around we had to ride bikes that we rented there and we took a tour bus once to dinner.   Riding our bikes to Rainbow Falls and the bakery. It was a great ride, I only wanted to quit once.  Giant cinnamon rolls at the bakery  Stehekin's one room school house  Us with the Renschler's  Rainbow falls  Fishing  We rented to Polaris for a couple of hours, that I enjoyed driving around. People can arrive to Stehekin by Sea plane...
