Helping in the Kitchen

Benjamin LOVES to help in the kitchen. It can honestly get pretty tiring for me. Every day at dinner time, he wants me to hold him so that he can be involved in all the cooking. He wants to help hold things and stir stuff. He wants to see everything that is going on.

I am always excited to see Curt walk through the door so that my back can have a break. :) Just this week, I decided to see how Ben would do standing on a chair. I keep it close to the counter and stand on the other side. It is much easier on the back! Ben helping me clean the potatoes, before I put in them in the oven.

He set each of them on foil for me and then I wrapped them.


After they were done being wrapped, he had to hold them for a minute before they went into the oven.

He's so cute! I love how he's helping with the potatos. Remember when Pey LOVED helping in the kitchen? He was so obsessed with cooking. He still is a little bit, but not near as much as he used to be! Ben is getting so big already! I can't believe he can help in the kitchen! Soon he can set the table and take out the trash! :0) Have a good weekend!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
