It's true. McDonald's Happy Meals keep kids happy in more ways than you'd think...
Gabe discovered the many utilitarian functions of the Happy Meal box, but his favorite use was to wear it as a hat for long periods of time during our recent road trip to Kerrville. I don't know who was more entertained - Gabe or us!
We made a super-fast trip to Kerrville last weekend to pick up the last of our stuff from the house. I was surprised how emotional it was for me to walk into our empty home for the last time. It was like a tidal wave of emotions hit me when I thought of all the special memories we'd made there. I gues it hit me the most when I walked into Gabe's room. Wow. But, at the same time, I am getting so excited about finding a new house in Temple and seeing it be transformed from just a house into a real HOME. I think that's what we are all longing for. To find our new HOME.
On a totally different note, my friend Colleen asked me to post my recipe for Corn Casserole. This has become one of my favorites, and I have to thank my sister-in-law, Crystal, for introducing it to me. Here it is:
CORN CASSEROLE
1 Can Cream Style Corn
1 Can Kernel Corn
2 Eggs
1 8 oz. Sour Cream
1 Box Jiffy Cornbread Mix
6 Tbs. Butter
1/2 c. Cheddar Cheese
Mix all ingredients except cheese. Pour into 13x9 pan (or 9x9 pan for a thicker casserole - I like it this way, though you'll have to bake it a bit longer). Top with the cheese. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until cheese is browned a bit and the casserole is set.
Enjoy!

Love the new hat Gabers! Its fabulous! The recipe is great as well! I figured your recipe would be something like that so I made a corn casserole the other night just like that except I didn't add any cheese and I added chopped cooked chicken in it as well! It was really yummy! The next night we ate the leftover with some southwestern pinto bean soup mmmmm :)I love you!
Kelly I am absolutely devastated that we missed your trip to Kerrville!!!! Of all the weekends for us to go camping! I miss you terribly and is this phone tag crazy or what :)
