There has been baking....
The bundt style cake is a banana bread from Pioneer Woman...it was pretty good. The one from Smitten Kitchen was definitely a winner. Not necessarily as good as my favorite one, but since that recipe has been lost for months (ack!! it used shortening and was really straight forward but I can't find the recipe card for the life of me and can't remember it), I thought I'd try a few new ones.
There have been rainy days and tea....
Don't worry, I wasn't driving when this picture was taken :)
There was the Polar Express (bad auntie couldn't make it, but Lil' Guy's mommy sent me pictures!!)
Goodness I love that kid!
Then my sister suggested we attend the Dickens Fair last weekend. What a lovely event! I don't know why we haven't been before.
Lil' Snowboarder loved going to "London!"
And then there is the knitting....
ummm....insert picture here? Busy weekend, not enough knitting. Must fix that soon! I did at least go to knit nite tonight :)

My son put his name in for a student ticket to the game. I think there's a slim chance that he'll get one but it's fun to dream :-)
That stupid rain (and the stupid rain going on right now)...it wasn't anything like storms we got in the Midwest but that wind was wicked the other morning.
December is a bit hectic for us because we're heading back to Wisconsin for a wedding next weekend, then we have Christmas, and then a couple days after Christmas we pack up again for our week long cruise. ::sigh:: Luckily, my Christmas knitting is done and, for the most part, wrapped. I need to find time to ship it across the country...which should be fine.
Oh, and the Badgers are going to the Rose Bowl again :)
Awww, you're all immersed in the spirit of the season. I'm so jealous! Somehow I don't feel it yet. I hope it comes soon though.
So far have been busy at work and other stuff, not a lot of knitting happening here either. Or dyeing for that matter.
