34 Weeks!! and Christmas eve am.
This was 33 weeks:
This is our belated Beignet day tradition. For those of you who don't know, Our dance team, Prosphatos planned a trip down to New Orleans in 2003 (just before Katrina hit.) Susanna had planned most of it and last minute couldn't join us. We had the BEST time, and the 3 of us that DID go brought back Beignet's...well the Moore's already had them, but we all decided it would be fun to have a Beignet day and make them up here in the "North"...so every year since (we think) we've have Dec 2nd set apart for just that. A time to get together, eat nummy french pastry and cafe' au lait ....so here is our annual Beignet day
Elizabeth checking to make sure the oil is hot enough
This year "on" beignet day, 'liz' got sick and so was rebecca, and they didn't want to be around the prego lady, so we postponed it till the 23rd. This is rebecca cutting the dough, and susanna stealing some of it.

Classic pic from our traveling days..had to get one in
Rebecca cutting: serated knife, not so helpful....she found out shortly after this was taken: sorry no one helped you out before, you are such a trooper! you did great even with a crappy knife
Beignet's frying
Cafe au Lait getting ready to keep me awake all night (the only drop of coffee i've had while prego..and most likely my last!
Powder sugar: couldn't resist the pic..thought the ziploc imprint was awesome.
I wanted the messy job, plus, you always NEED MORE powdered sugar...as jake will be demonstrating momentarily
Prosphatos: together again. (performing at Oasis Christmas eve 11pm service!)
Last year while elizabeth and rebecca were on hiatus in europe/egypt, we invited daniel and susanna to sit in with us...and now they are apart of the tradition...jake is well, married to me...and always a ball to have around: again see pic below!! Plus, he's one of the fam with the moore's since he did live there for a year.
our beautiful susanna..such a marvelous friend!
nice smile dan the man. glad you could make it.
rebecca, your joy for Christmas is encouraging. I love how you find joys in the little things
Elizabeth: mon ami...life wouldn't be the same without you. We've been through a lot, glad there's much more to experience together!
Jake: not getting enough of the powder sugar..could he have MORE personality? So talented and loving...i could go on and on, but...i won't.
Loving getting messy! and yeah for beignet day ,and for john and betty for sharing their anniversary with our traditional beignet day...and for having us over to watch Scrooge (1951) My first time watching it, and i loved it. Yeah for reason's to celebrate.
