Family photos

Christmas at the Freeman house…..

I know I have been pretty bad about posting the last week or 2 but I have been spending time with my family. I wanted to post a few Christmas pics that I took. To say that our family likes to cook is an understatement. My husband Chris is the head chef in our family and my daughter Lindsey is taking culinary as an elective this year so she got her dad a chef's uniform as a gift and had it embroidered with "Chef Dad".

My husband and my daughter Lindsey got me a Kitchenaid mixer for Christmas but guess who was the first person who got to use it? I think there was an ulterior motive there.  THis is Lindsey making rolls FROM SCRATCH! They were sooooo good too!

This is a picture of them as they were still rising. They smelled so good….nothing like fresh bread baking. She is a perfectionist so she scooped them all out with a mini ice cream scoop to make perfect balls.

Here is my award winning apple pie! Oooooh was it good heated up with ice cream on top. I am the baker in the family and make tons of goodies for all of our friends, family and neighbors. I should have taken pictures of all of the trays I made before I gave them away….3 straight days in the kitchen.

This is my sweet little angel. I only have one more year til she leaves to go to college. I get sad just thinking about it. She is such a sweet girl.

My baby just left for prom…..

I can’t believe my baby girl is all grown up and going to her first prom (she is in 10th grade so I guess we have 2 more years of this)…..

It was a hectic week getting ready….but what an exciting time. It brings back memories.  Here are a few photos of the exciting day…..

Lindsey is finally ready….it only took 2 days at the salon….LOL!

This is Lindsey and her dad waiting anxiously for Clay to arrive.

How do you put this thing on?

Don’t they look so cute?

Lindsey’s 16th birthday!

Today was my daughter Lindsey’s 16th birthday ( I can’t believe it!). My mother-inlaw decided to do a really cool gift for her….she made 16 cupcakes and put $5 bills rolled up to look like candles in the center of each one. She got brand new bills and then rolled them up, used twist ties to hold them and then wrapped a little piece of foil around the bottom so the money wasn’t actually touching the cake. So, here are the pictures….look closely and you can see the money in the center.  My husband just turned 44 last week and he asked her why she didn’t make him the same gift with 44 cupcakes!

Here is a picture of the birthday girl!

Christmas morning…..

Thought I would share a couple of pictures from Christmas morning……Santa Claus brought me a new camera so I had to try it out!

This is Lindsey sitting in front of the Christmas tree getting ready to open presents…..

Here she is trying on some new pajamas!

This is Lindsey on the couch with Chris showing off her favorite new socks. That is my mom in the background. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
