Bakin' Some Cakes

I loved more than anything to spend friday morning working hard on something I love to do. Baking.  I enjoyed so much making three driver’s license cakes for Katelyn, Anthony, and Aaron with Cheryl.  It only half way broke my heart to see them cut into and eaten.  But I learned so much from Cheryl, that I could do it again just for fun :)

The final products

For two great cousins and one great brother

As I walked to my first class after the Christmas break, I couldn’t help but smile and laugh to myself that I can’t be old enough to be really walking to college.  It hadn’t hit me until then that I really am growing up fast.  With my graduation year being 2010, the whole year meant I was still young and not supposed to be growing up.  But now with the New Year, 2011, it means my graduation year has passed and I’m really old and in college.

2010 was such a great year

But what makes it the best...

It means I get to look forward to a whole nother year! :)

An Update on the Last Two Months...

I love this time of year where I can spend so much time with my family. 

Thanksgiving is the best time to get the whole family together. 

It’s the time for the annual football game, playing games, looking through ads, the annual talent show, and eating turkey and pie.

Tim and I celebrated our two years together

He is so amazing, and I could not have asked for a better two years.

Christmas Eve with the family!

We got to act out the nativity scene with the cousins, eat, play games, and spend time with the family.  I couldn't ask for a better time with the fam. 

Christmas day!

Santa came and we got to open presents.

Good thing it wasn’t too early :)

We had breakfast before opening presents from each other

Christmas is the best to spend time with family.

Tim’s presents were wrapped perfectly!

New Year's Eve!

Of course we had to have the food, we ate and ate and played games, and almost to midnight we gathered in the family room to count down til the New Year.

Now it’s time to plan for the New Year.  I can’t wait to see what happens.
