New Traditions...

Adam and I have spent a couple of holidays in Tucson, Arizona throughout the years. After we were married, it seems that traditions are more important than ever. Over traditions, we are sure to share some good laughs and create memories that are priceless.

Here is one of our favorite traditions: kolaches, a traditional Czech cookie. Adam's dad is 100% Czech, which makes Adam 50% Czech. They are a light, pastry like dough filled with greatness- like cream cheese, cherries, blueberries, poppy seeds- pretty much whatever you like! We have been trying to perfect these for years. This year we have come closer, but still not quite there.

This year went a little something like this:
Me: "Neil, are these more like what you remember?"
Neil: "No, not at all!"
Me: "Ok, someday we will get this right!"

Here is a pic of Adam and our peanut butter blossoms cookies. They are delicious. I have been having them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Its ok though, because its Christmas! (That's what we say).

We also like to pick oranges at Adam's grandparent's trees. We enjoy making fresh squeezed orange juice. It is quite refreshing, although a little tart. I was having a great time.

And finally, after all of this- heading out to the golf range for nine holes. Adam and I played, along with his parents. Adam and his dad are very competitive, and Adam's mom and I enjoyed 'learning'. We had lots and lots of laughs.

All in a hard days work.
