Making Fastnachts!!!
When Brandon was in 2nd grade, Mrs. Miller his teacher, had the whole second grade make these tasty donuts! I was able to help and with Brandon's reminders, we made fastnachts today for Fat Tuesday tomorrow!
It is just refrigerated biscuit tube dough which the boys poked holes in or quartered them to roll into donut holes. Then I fried them in crisco sticks in the wok on the stove top...it literally takes about a minute to fry. 
Then we let them sit on a paper towel on a plate to let some of the grease drain off. Next we had bowls of powdered sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon and sugar for the guys to roll the fresh warm donuts in.
Happy Valentines Day 2010
The boys helped to set the table complete with candles, flowers, sparkling cidar and a heart shaped cookie cake! 
Thinh grilled yummy lobster tails, NY strip steaks, twice baked potatoes and we also had crab cakes and caesar salad too!
Brandon's Big Day
In anticipation of Brandon getting braces at some point this year, he needed to have some baby teeth pulled. So after a few appointments to the oral surgeon and a bout with mono, the day finally arrived on Monday February 15. Brandon handled it like a champ! I was only in the waiting room for 8 minutes before the nurse came and got me and said he was back awake and did awesome! When I went in the room, the doctor was sitting with B and had his arm around him and Brandon looked confused and was talking about his cross country skiing debut with Larry, Oliver and Andrew! 
Flowers from my Hubby
Thinh arrived home from Vietnam here at our house at 2:15 am Saturday morning January 30th. I peeked out the window and saw him sporting a new suit, a nice tan and carrying a big bouquet of flowers for me!!! The flowers also doubled as get well flowers for me for my gallbladder surgery on February 1st. I am home now and healed up thanks to my parents, my friends and great kids!
