We were there for this little girl's baptism!

Caught some of them with their eyes closed! Oh well, got them all in and that is a miracle.

Look at his little face! He is an angel! Just not so sure right here about sitting on this lady's lap when he wanted to be running around.
 My captions pretty much tell the story of last weekend's trip to Topeka for Shyanne's baptism.  It was much too short.  But, they love the reading phones, the baptism was beautiful, the kids were so sweet and well behaved, and we got to play some of the  games together that we love.  Little Connor introduced me to a new one that he loves about a pig that does an interesting thing.  It was pretty hilarious.  Check it out here.  You will see the appeal to a 3 year old!
       In case you didn't hear the news, Kathy Bentz won the giveaway! I am so happy for her because she has been a supporter of the blog from the start.  I am busy getting her Hot Cocoa Bombs decorated to pack up for her now!  It is so much fun to get them decorated. They look so cute.  Look at these Peppermint Bombs!

Just looking at them, and smelling the peppermint gets you into the Christmas spirit!
      Finally, I bought some Tater Tots the other day, and whenever I think of Tater Tots, I think of two things:  The movie "Napoleon Dynamite"   and, the casserole recipe that my Aunt Dorothy gave me when I went away to college.  We loved that recipe, and I have updated it a little, so here it is.
Mix 1 package of dry onion soup mix into 1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef. Smash the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
Chop a small head of broccoli into tiny little pieces.
Also chop about half of a small onion into small pieces.
Spread the chopped veggies over the beef.
On top of the veggies, spread out Tater Tots. It won't take the entire package, but put on enough to cover as well as you can.
Spread a can of condensed cheddar cheese and broccoli soup over the top. You can also use just plain cheddar cheese soup. Then, spread about 2 cups of shredded cheese over the top of the soup.
Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for about 40 min. (Make sure the meat is cooked.)
Cut the casserole into squares and serve! This is real comfort food!

      Finally, I wanted to let you know about a new affiliate I have signed up with.  They are called Panna.
