Oh man.. Javan was just adorable this weekend. He said so many cute things, I'm kicking myself for not writing them all down.

Friday night we went to Legacy's christmas show and it was spectacular (not like I would expect any less from them).  Anyway, they had a background picture of snow falling and Javan says "Mom, I learned that snow is just a lot of SNOWFLAKES" I wish I could somehow put into words his genuine excitement for this simple fact.  It just reminds me the many pieces of knowledge that we adults just take for granted.... and expect kids to just KNOW.

Saturday morning we went to Lance's parents house for a little bit, while Lance helped his dad with some electrical and then we went to a family Christmas dinner (on his mom's side).  Javan had a buddy there... Grant... and they played SO well together. There were a few times that i was sure they must be causing trouble because they were so QUIET but, no, just playing nicely together (well as "nice" as a couple of boys can play together).  Javan fell asleep on the car ride home and when I took off his coat and put him to bed. He mumbled in a very concerned tone "My toys (he got a couple of little toys there) are in my coat pocket." I told him I will get them, not to worry and he replies "but, MOM, they will be ruined if you put them in the washer." The things that he worries about.

Over the weekend he developed a little bit of a cough and we were super busy so we decided after church to just have a "lay low" day.  We watched a couple of movies, made some donuts and just rested. It was a good day!!

I have to give some major props to Lance who has been soooo patient with me while I have been swamped with work last week.  Friday night he knew that I was waaaaaay too busy to have any dinner ready and he decided to make a (delicious, I might add) stuffed crust pizza for dinner

We have been having a lot of fun lately making things from scratch. We try our best to avoid grocery stores for anything pre-made. Yesterday, we were thinking about making a trip to Dunkin Donuts for some donuts and then thought... it would be a lot more FUN and healthier and cheaper to make them ourselves.  I love it when Lance and Javan cook with me. :-)

Lance rolled out the dough while I got the oil ready and made the glaze. We didn't have a donut cookie cutter so lance used his wedding ring for the donut holes. I decided to name them "love donuts". haha.

This was the finished product. Some very very yummy donuts.  Lance and I are already thinking of how we can get creative with our next donut making marathon....
