Had hoped to get something up before the end of the year, but  we spent the last week in Colorado and I wasn’t in the blogging mood. I basically had to get away from the Interwebs for a while, so spent much of my time there (when I wasn’t playing with niece and nephew and child and being social with my family), with my nose “in my kindle”. I said I had to get away from the Interwebs, not ALL electronic devices!

So… some final pics from the end of the year:

Yum? Actually, yes, these paleo-friendly cookies were yum. Tasted kind of like a chocolate macaroon.

Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake: I resurrected this classic in my repertoire, which I don’t think we’ve had since the toddler was born. Delish, and Lily ate it up like there was no tomorrow.

Chicken Stew and Biscuits: A reprise of an earlier slow cooker diary entry. Just as tasty the second time around.

Hm. Thought I’d have more photos to share. So I leave you with these fantastic Gingerbread Houses that Lily and I made while in CO (you all remember the “Shantytown” we built a few years ago, right?):

Note the construction continuing in the background by the niece

And on to 2013!
