April Fools'

This is how Alex woke me up this morning,

Alex (incredibly serious face): "Laura, a car just slid down the hill and hit into our car."

Laura (nearly jumping out of bed): "Are you serious?"

Alex (jovially): "April Fools'!"

Needless to say, April Fools' is less than my favorite day of the year. I unknowingly played an April Fool's joke on Graham, though. This is what he wore to bed last night (plus some more pictures; it's for fun); he's grown out of nearly everything else. Merry Christmas!




Also, I thought I'd share a recipe. We had this for dinner last night. It was an experiment that turned out to be delicious. Enjoy.

Green Chile Soup

Rice (3/4 c dry rice + 1 1/2 c water)
1 large chicken breast, shredded
1 can chicken broth
1 can green enchilada sauce
1 can diced green chiles (3-4 oz.)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced
garlic salt
crushed red pepper flakes

Cook rice.
Cook chicken in microwave, shred.
Mix everything else in big pot. Cook.
Add shredded chicken. Simmer.
Add rice. Stir.
When it starts to smell yummy, it's probably ready.
Good with cornbread, tortillas, or plain.

It's great seeing pictures of Graham. He is so big, and looks so different than the last time we saw him. He's very cute!

yummmmmy. I can't believe what a big boy graham is. I can't decide who he looks more like...I'm ready to make my decision. I've made my decision. Decision made. He looks like Laura.
