Handcrafted plate by Tadpole#2The day after Thanksgiving~ our whole family headed to the Eastern shore for a short holiday~ as if Thanksgiving wasn't a blessing enough (hosted 23 people!) with a mix of dear family & friends at our home...
As soon as we returned I received a package from Teresa & Tadpole #2~ from Life, Homesteading & Everything~I had purchased a handmade pottery dish (Tadpole#2) that craftsmanship is outstanding, adorable lego soaps for my granddaughters made by Tadpole#1, and some beautiful handmade paper (yes handmade paper) adorned with photos. And as a surprise I also received a lovely dove soap (beau-ti-ful), and some handmade tags with photos placed on them also.
Lego soaps, beautiful white dove soap, handmade cards with real handmade paper & beautiful photos from Teresa & her son Tadpole#2As you can tell by the pictures...this is a "stand-out" family
beaming with talent~all natural inspired.
Thank you Teresa & Tadpole#2!!!!!
The whole weekend we had a fabulous time as we spent the entire time with our children. Our oldest son & new bride hosted a FIVE STAR dinner that was unbelievable~ and all prepared in their newly completed cottage kitchen fit for a KING OR QUEEN. My son & daughter-in-law prepared some wonderful dishes that put everyone in awe...and very very full! There was...

Pork loin tenderized with a special marinate with the cranberry sauce over it...
Stuffed chicken breast filled with tomato pesto & cream cheese~yum!
Fresh green beans with garlic, potatoes ready to be mashed & my daughter-in-law grannies family famous deviled eggs! (Oh-- I am trying to copy that deviled egg recipe!!!!!)
And for dessert my daughter-in-law made the most WONDERFUL pumpkin pies, DIRT (yummy mix of Oreo cookies, whipped cream, pudding, etc....), and some peanut butter mini cheesecakes.....AND NO the pictures of these were tooooo dark-darn because she is a fabulous baker that was soooo unbelievable!!!!!
