Family Time

I have been extremely HOMESICK for the past few weeks so a visit from the in-laws is just what the doctor ordered! I love to cook dinner for Eddie's parents when they are in town so the first night when they arrived I was looking forward to cooking dinner for them. Since the weather has been chilly and chili is one of Eddie's favorite meals, I thought it would be the perfect meal to make! This is a picture of the chili as it cooked:


Once it was done we topped it off with sour cream, cheddar cheese and onions. For desert I made carrot cake cupcakes from scratch. Although I didn't eat them, I heard they were pretty tasty.


Throughout the week got to gamble, watch sports together, go to dinner (Ventano's - YUM!) and spend some quality time together! While Eddie's parents were here our three year old camera finally decided to die on us (hence why I don't have many pictures with them). Eddie's amazing parents bought us an early Christmas present...A NEW CAMERA!! We've been looking at cameras for a long time and we've always heard such good things about Canon, so we chose this one:


It takes awesome pictures and now we can take lots of pictures next time our families come to visit or next time we visit them. So far I'd say it's going to be our favorite Christmas gift! :)

Testing out our new camera:
Ed taking the first photo...I look like a hot mess, but it's the only picture I got with Ed's mom so please excuse the grossness!

Of course we had to test the camera out on Boo Bear.

Eddie being a goofball.
I'm really lucky that I have such great in-laws and I can't wait for them to come back in February!

This week was a lot of fun and full of much needed family time.
