woodruff special

sometimes i think to myself

"i want to be an awesome cook, like one of those legit moms who does it all"

then i realize i'm a woodruff

 

my mom.

thanksgiving day in 1992 i believe 

and we specialize in "the woodruff special": burning things :)

i'm trying to break out of the mold.

i'm working on it.

i like eating yummy things.

i like cooking with other people.

i don't like cooking by myself, eating it (especially when burnt:), and then cleaning it all up.

but, i am working on it and one day i will succeed :)

see that plant in the background? i bet you 10 bucks that's a Dieffenbachia, common name dumbcane- it's poisonous

cooking for two

after making a real dinner tonight for almost the first time,

casey & i decided to be super ambitious and make cookies with our new kitchen aid!

i told casey to put on an apron for fun and help & he decided the skirt one would be best...

what a guy eh?

the cookies turned out delicioso btw

other happenings of december:

1.) we went to my ballroom dance company dinner which was fun

we looked like quite a cute couple if i do say so myself!

casey heard there was a one plate rule so he PILED up his plate massively,

put rolls in his pockets,

PILED stuff on my plate so i looked like a piggy too,

and then they said you could get a 2nd plate later...

so much for the savageness!

2) During the whole ballroom thing casey was so ancy to leave so we could go to the BYU v ASU basketball right next door!

we made it over before the first half was over and had a blast!

scott and megan went that night too which made it way fun!

2 things made me proud: look at this awesome white-out student section!

and we beat ASU, and they were ranked!

GO COUGS!

3) we finally got our bedding etc!

thanks you everyone for the bed bath and beyond gift cards :)

we both agree it's so much better to have a cute new, fluffy one than casey's...

cowboys bed spread ;)

hehe casey looks funny in this pic :) and his derriere got a bad angle...poor thing

it's these little things in life that really make it happy

ps- casey and i cannot get thesong "grandma got run over by a reindeer" out of our heads!
we just keep singing it and singing it!. mmeh!
