Photo Monday

 First snowfall of the winter this past week. Here are some photos of what Josh and Justace and I woke up to a few mornings ago.

 I've been practicing cooking and baking. I've gotten better but still mess up and am still learning. This chocolate cake I made from scratch. It was delicious but as you can see I'm not great at art and I made the mistake of not letting the cake cool enough before frosting it so everything sort of slid off to the side. It's supposed to be a spooky tree with Reeses peanut butter cup minis for leaves. I've made cookies and brownies but this was my first cake.

 Pip and Justace are becoming friends. Justace loves getting to pet the dog and when Pip licks him he laughs and giggles.

 Bright Eyes, our new kitten, drives me crazy but everyone else in the family loves her. She's taken to sleeping in the baby's high chair.

 Justace in his little lion Halloween costume. We went to the local Halloween carnival this past week and will go show him around the nursing home this week and the Trunk or Treat downtown.

 Justace is easily entertained. He got his hands on this plastic bag and had a great time playing with it. Don't worry I watched him the whole time to make sure he didn't put it over his face.
