TOLL HOUSE PIE!

2 EGGS

1/2 CUP ALL PURPOSE FLOUR

1/2 CUP SUGAR

1/2 CUP FIRMLY PACKED BROWN SUGAR

1 CUP BUTTER, MELTED AND COOLED TO ROOM TEMPERATURE

ONE 6-OUNCE PACKAGE (1 CUP) NESTLE TOLL HOUSE SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE MORSELS

1 CUP CHOPPED WALNUTS

ONE 9-INCH UNBAKED PIE SHELL*

WHIPPED CREAM OR ICE CREAM (OPTIONAL)

Preheat oven to 325. In large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Add flour, sugar and brown sugar, beat until well blended. Blend in melted butter. Stir in Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate morsels and walnuts. Pour into pie shell.* Bake at 325 for 1 hour. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

* If using frozen pie shell, it's necessary to use deep dish style, thawed. Place on cookie sheet and bake additional 10 minutes.

This recipe is for Mom (for Joe) and Miss Sharon. :) I have always used a deep dish pie shell - less chance of a big mess in the oven! ;) This has to be one of our favorite pie recipes -- all credit to Linda!! :) This is an easy recipe and SO yummy, ENJOY!! :)

Happy Belated Birthday, Uncle Jeff!!

Dear Uncle Jeff,
We just wanted to wish you a belated Happy Birthday. The reason I'm not posting any pictures is because I don't have any (of you) on my computer right now (long story). Sorry! And sorry I didn't post this earlier! :( We hope you had a wonderful birthday/Thanksgiving. We love you and are looking forward to seeing you guys in a few weeks!

Much love,
Michelle, Chris, Allie and Adam

WELCOME HOME DADDY!

Waiting for daddy yesterday morning!
Yay, daddy's home! :) Allie doesn't look so sure about Chris, but actually she was really excited to see him. She gave him a big long hug - I just didn't get a picture of it! ;(
Chris and the little ones!
Poor Chris, he was so tired when he got home yesterday. It was all he could do just to stay awake to spend time with us! =(

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY, AIMEE!! I'm so sorry I don't have any other pics to post for you, I have some, but can't get them off the disk. Stupid Best Buy guys... they probably did something wrong and the pics aren't even on the disks ! :( I will be so upset if I lost all those pictures!! =(

Anyway, thanks for being such a special, sweet sister. You have just a way about you that is so loving and caring! :) We hope you had a great day - enjoyed all your company and the tasty meals that mom made. :) Can't wait for Christmas so we can see you!

Love you lots,

Michelle, Chris, Allie and Adam.

Screaming Kids And A Trip To The Park!

Allie has had a really hard life lately - too many changes in such a short time. :( She has been taking out her frustrations on me by acting up A LOT!!! :( For the last few nights she's been having a fit when it comes time to brush her teeth... I don't understand it, and don't see why brushing is such a big deal. Anyway, I decided to take a picture of her so she can see what a stinker she was, when she grows up. In this pic she is standing in our room, in the corner, where I put her. :(

Adam adding to all the noise! ;pOur afternoon was a little better than our evening... we spent a few hours with friends at the park! ;)

Chillin' in the stroller!Cute little Joey!

A day with old friends! :)

Being in the military has been a great opportunity to meet some wonderful people. God has truly blessed us with some great friends (& neighbors) and today Allie and I got to send the whole day with some of those special people!!! :) Christina, Kristen and Jenn (Heather, sorry you couldn't make it -- we missed you!) are some of the girls I met when we first moved to Quantico, VA. All of our husbands went through TBS together, and during that time we became good friends! Now, two years later, we're all stationed in the same area. It was wonderful catching up with the girls and we plan on doing it again soon. :) Allie loved the girls and didn't want anyone to leave! Actually, she wanted to go home with them! ;) This is Christina with Allie! ;) Thanks for eating my cookies, guys! :)
Kristen and Jenn - I didn't get any pics of Kristen's beautiful little girl, Mae. :( Next time!! :)

Just another day!

Our chubby boy! :)

This is a three month old outfit he has on... yikes, he could be a big boy! :)

Spending time with big sister. Wow, they are both sitting still and being good! :)

Lots of kisses from Allie -- Adam usually doesn't like them! :0
