Baking, drinking, a deer hoof and LOTS of snow

Mandi and Andriy traveled out this weekend to visit us for some Christmas fun!!  Mandi and I were heading the baking, Jeremy and Andriy were in charge of the booze, Braylen was responsible for the smiles and laughs and Molly was to blame for the deer hoof!  Mandi yelped in our living room, "Oh my, what's that?"  Molly was proudly gnawing on a deer hoof.  (A few hunting buddies thought it would be funny to drop off a few deer hooves in our front yard during hunting season, so Molly's been out hunting!)  Jeremy proceeded to place it into the garbage, not the garage garbage, but the kitchen, yes the same kitchen we were baking in.  Although pretty gross, also pretty funny.  Jeremy and Andriy made homemade Baileys and we enjoyed a few of those as well as some yummy wine and cold beers.  While baking the rain changed into huge snow flakes that quickly covered everything, again!  We listened to Christmas music, laughed, braved through difficult recipes, they were literally labeled difficult on foodnetwork.com, got Mandi and Andriy's car stuck and then unstuck, ventured out to have a bite for dinner and then fell asleep watching Christmas Vacation.  It was a perfect Mandi and Andriy filled weekend!  We can't wait until they move to Dubuque and we can do this lots more often!!  Memories...
the very fashion forward bakers!!
