What a great holiday we had. Isi is checking out the guitar for the game 'Guitar Hero III' for the Wii. They had way too many cool stuff to play with. Isi spent days in a Princess dress I bought for her with a crown Athena made for her and a wand. It was really cute. As much fun as it was we always miss being around everyone we care about so plan to get your rear ends down here sometime! I made the most amazing turkey ever! I always over cook everything but my Christmas diner turned out fantastic. Below is the Chocolate, cheesecake torte I made. It's got a layer of cheesecake between the chocolate layers and has a homemade buttercream frosting. It tasted as good as it looks. Now to try and burn off the extra 5lbs which I thought would be going away by now but seem to be sticking around.
This was a project Athena and I made for her teacher who loves Superman. I love how he turned out and had to share him with all of you. I can't stand buying gifts for teachers so I am always asking the kids to make something for them. I am sure teachers get enough junk and I like to do something different.
This last weekend we had a blast skiing at Big Bear Lake in California. The kids took lessons all day and ski much better than Ted already. It's crazy how they can pick things up. As for myself I was off by myself a lot enjoying some great snow. Thank goodness skiing comes back fast and I was off like I had never stopped for so many years. It snowed so much on Sunday we had to put chains on the tires before driving home. It was a very long trip back especially since there was an accident on the road down that held us up for almost 2 hours.
Going back a few days more, we spent a night in Palm Springs so we could get a full day of skiing in on Friday and here is Isi pretending to sleep in our bed. The hotel was awesome, like a palace, and we had a great time.
Isi is starting to say sentences now. She is saying things like awesome, ready daddy, good morning, I see you, I'm coming, tv, Princess, Jasmin, Aerial, and hungry. I have got to write them down more because I want to remember all of them. She also sings every chance she gets.Post more soon!
Love the Sfikas Family
