New Years Day or Birthday Party!!!

Sunday, January 1st 2012, was in fact New Years Day. But at our house we had some unfinished business from 2011. Daniel and Step were born on December 27th!!! Lucky for them they were healthy and happy and have had a great life!!! Unlucky for them is the fact that by December 27th every year their Mom is worn out and we celebrate their birthday a few days later!!!! They have been very generous in forgiving me and they are always happy!!! This year as in the past 10 years we have had Chicken Broccoli casserole for their dinner!!! It's their favorite. Also this year we had two cakes!!! One vanilla and one chocolate!!! Both were a hit!!!As you can see, when it came time to blow out candles, Evie C was a big help. First with Daniel and the chocolate cake.
Next with Step and the vanilla one. Thanks Evie... And thanks you two for being such great boys and good examples to all of us. We have been so blessed because we know you!!!

Chicken Broccoli Casserole recipe: (how I make it)

6 chicken breasts (boneless-skinless) Pan sauteed in chicken broth and diced.

1 1/2 lbs. broccoli cooked and drained

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1-2 teaspoons curry powder

1 teaspoon salt and pepper

1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Place Broccoli on the bottom of a 9X13 sprayed pan. Top with cooked chicken breast. Top with grated cheese. Mix the soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, salt and pepper. Pour over the top of cheese. Bake about 45 minutes in 350 degree oven. It should be bubbly all the way through.

Yummmmmmmm!!!!

Fun Week!!!

Sunday we were up in Midway, finishing up our fun time at Swiss Days. The twins came up for dinner and we had a great time. Swiss Days will be a different blog. We spent most of the day with Meg and Thayne. It was relaxing and fun.

We had a hot dog bar at the BBQ. Lot's of salads. Highly successful!!!
We had a fun BBQ at our home on Monday night we invited both our families and it turned out great. My pictures are stolen from Megs blog since I didn't take any.
Tuesday, we put together an outing to Mary Poppins at the last minute. We ate at Cafe Molise, and then walked over to the Capital theater. We loved the production in New York and it was a lot of fun here as well. The three of us could have fun anytime anywhere however.

Thursday night we had a shower for Randi Olsen. It was a lot of fun and the girls were adorable.



Friday Britt and I went to the Utah State Fair. We had a blast and stayed for 4 hours. The girls loved the animals, and riding the Merry-go-round. We were the only ones there so the guy let it run and run and run!!!

To top the week off, Adam ran in the Greek Festival 5k. He won of course with the time of 16.20. his goal was to come in under 17 minutes. He was 2 minutes ahead of the next guy. Any way it was a beautiful morning and Jin and I had a lot of fun waiting the full 16 minutes for him to finish.
