Where Have We Been?

My, it feels like I haven’t blogged in ages. I has been a while. But I have good excuses…colds, fevers, gift buying, gift wrapping, tea parties, cookie making, gift making, Christmas programs, potty training, bento-ing…and I want to share it all with you! But maybe not all today… Since, some of the gifts are distributed, I’ll start by sharing a gift I made for some friends and co-workers. We have gotten good feedback on Indian style tea that we often make at home…chai. It’s creamy and spicy and all kinds of goodness! So I decided to get some black tea and grind and mix my own spices (like we do at home) to make Masala Chai and package it to give to friends. I was really happy the way it turned out! I hope my friends enjoy it! At the beginning of the month, we also had Isabelle and Graces Christmas play. It was Grace’s first “performance” and she was a natural! They girls looked so cute in their Christmas outfits and all of my side of the family graciously traveled two hours to see their little 30 minute performance!
