Today was full of chocolate!

Photobucket
The girls and I worked on a little something today.

Photobucket
Chocolate, butterscotch, coconut, sprinkles, mini morsels and marshmallows.

Chocolate dipping spoons for hot cocoa. We are making these for Christmas eve.

Autumn made most of the snowmen spoons. Actually, I only made one and Autumn made the rest. She had such a good time.

Autumn had me write a letter to Santa that went something like this:

Dear Santa,
Can I have a la la loopsy? I also want a girl Jeep, Jeep. I would like a microwave that works. I been a good girl. I have been nice to Millie. I have been nice to mommy and daddy. I sure miss him.

Love,
Autumn

We are going to give her letter to your dad tomorrow at church, since he is a mailman and all.

Millie did nothing but eat sprinkles!

I have these guys in the fridge now, in a ziploc bag. I hope they make it until Monday night.

I also made my chocolate bark. Tomorrow I will make the sugar cookies the kids will decorate on Christmas eve.

I have the menu all set. Going to make a ham, roasted sweet potato and cresent rolls. Your mom and dad are going to bring the salad. Brett and Jennifer are bringing the hot chocolate for the kids. I am also making Lasagna rolls and garlic bread. I am very excited about dinner even though it may not make a lot of sense! We will give the kids their Christmas PJs Monday night as well.

I think Autumn is the most excited about taking her snowman for a hot cocoa dip!

I have been thinking about you a lot. The stuff you are missing out on. I am doing my best to include you in as much as possible, but there was a moment tonight that I felt you couldn't miss. I grabbed the camera and crossed my fingers that Millie would keep singing even though I was recording. She did. For your viewing pleasure!


What a sweet girl!

I love you! I miss you so much.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 50 days of three chicks eating chocolate without you!!

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
