Caden with Auntie S.

My Favorite Guacamole Salad . . .

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
small red onion
1-2 seeded minced jalapeno peppers
1/2 tsp. lime zest
juice of 2 limes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. red pepper
2 large avocados, diced

Chunk up veggies, peppers, and zest. Combine juice, olive oil, and seasonings and whisk together. Pour over veggies. Last, add the chunks of avacado. YUMMY!

The Divine Miss V . . .

J is so excited about Christmas.

V poses in front of the family tree.

December began with GP and myself making a trip to watch Miss V sing and play bells with her choir in their church's annual Hanging of the Green. Needless to say, she was beautiful AND quite talented as you can see from the photos and video.

She is just too cute!!!!!

A BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tate, Roxie, GP (who took the pic), and I all wish each of you a somewhat

belated yet very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

NEWS FLASH . . . I'M BLOGGING AGAIN!

After much criticism from my children (because I was the one who suggested we all blog to keep in touch), I am now back in the blogging business. Now that the Christmas rush is over and school is out for a while, maybe I can at least get a few pictures up for viewing.
