Last week we hung out with our friends again. This time Eliot brought his girlfriend, who was out from California for Eliot's ball. To give our new guest a warm welcome, I made a stout stew and bread bowls, which turned out more like baby bread loaves. To wish the boys a happy birthday, I made them a cake. It was chocolate with raspberry filling and chocolate buttercream icing.
Earlier this week, we got snow. Clayton woke me up early in the morning, as he was getting ready for work, just to show me. We woke Merlin up and brought him outside to see the snow, too. He didn't seem to know what to make of it. Later I let Merlin out into the backyard, where he frolicked on the hard ground, occasionally pausing to sniff and lick the snow.
In other news, Clayton and I really began digging into our spare room. Since we moved in, it has served as a storage space. We don't have so much more junk than most people, we just have hardly any closets and no garage this time around. I'll post pictures when we get the spare room done, but for now, here are pictures of how that train wreck of a room looked before we got started.
