Shaz by the Sea

What a fun, festive few days. My friend Lauren came over after work yesterday and we made an awesome stuffed pepper dinner recipe with some fresh margs w/ casamigos (hoping they’ll sponsor me first, Chrissy).  Pictures to recap:  We did so many fun Christmas things with the boys today - lauren made the boys some homemade Christmas inspired pancakes this morning, then we made brunch Shakshuka (my favorite), the boys went outside and went sledding, then we baked an apple pie. To top it off, we all made magic reindeer food!  Somewhere in there Caden made Lauren some hot chocolate, gave her a blanket, and put the fire on for her - he was adorable and I think he’s in love.  Here are the pancakes! And the shakshuka !  We made this fun reindeer food - to help energize the reindeers on Christmas Eve!  And throw in a little remote learning because you know, #2020! Ha  All for now! xo, Shaz

Sure, the boys experienced some snow in DC, but I'm ready for them to experience a Massachusetts winter. So far, they have been loving the snow. I know we haven't had very much of it --- and they haven't really played outside in it, but they love watching it fall from the sky. They hold out their little hands and try to catch the snowflakes. It's so sweet. Here's Caden and Conor watching Jimmy shovel the driveway. He also used his snowblower, which they couldn't take their eyes off of...they stood here for like 15 minutes watching him. That's how I was able to back up and take the pic from further away. ;) Jim's Mom ("Nana") bought the boys these winter coats. And my mom ("Grammy") bought them these little clips so I can hang their mittens off the jackets. Unfortunately, they don't love their coats OR ...
