South Beach Diet

Turkey Bacon Cheese Breakfast Cups - Steak au Poivre - Cabbage Reuben Wrap

This has been Kevin's diet the last two days...between meals snacking on pumpkin seeds and almonds.

Sunday afternoon

Allyson went over to Jack and Cathy's house.  She had the best time!  This is Cathy's dollhouse.  Allyson said when she grows up she wanted her house to look just like Ms Cathy's house.  :)

A few of the family pics we took this past week

California Thanksgiving

Thanks to Fran and Lori (Ken's sister) we had a great meal. Ken's mom and sister came up from L.A. and we had quite a spread. Kevin made homemade pumpkin ice cream for dessert with Fran's pumpkin pie. Wilma, Lori, Fran and I played pitch (card game) afterwards. Silas was sleeping during the meal so he had leftovers when we got home with Daddy and Mera. We had a great day. Now, I am off to work. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanksgiving in Virginia

I fixed Candace's pork chops and they were a big hit!! also scalloped potatoes and steamed french beans. For dessert I made an angel food cake with homemade coffee ice cream. Then we went to see Mormor. Caleb took two pork chops home w/scalloped potatoes to eat for supper tonight. Delicious recipe Candace that I will make again soon. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and thought about all of the rest of our precious family.

Thanksgiving at the Claxtons
