Tomorrow, we’re throwing a baby shower for my friend Marlene, who is pregnant with her 2nd girl. I’m in charge of dessert, and found this great cake online to make. It’s shaped like a baby rattle. Today, I spent all afternoon baking, making 2 cakes and some cupcakes. I went off to dance class and came back to find this
No, Steve did not get hungry, the DOG ATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KNowing I was mad at her, she slunk off to the back room to her corner.
I’m currently baking yet another cake, and tomorrow will frost it. I’ll post some pics when it’s done. On a side note, I’ll probably have to stay up all night trying to finish my blanket.
Well, maybe i’ll give it to her when the babe is born.

I found this recipe and decided to make it for dinner. I roasted a chicken the other day, so I made some fresh stock and headed down to the market to get my veggies. I got them, plus some strawberries and a watermelon all for less than $3.50. I’ll let you know how the soup is. I figured a nice bowl of it will go perfectly after African dance tonight!

Steve and I have been on a pretzel making kick. We’ve made them for 2 parties recently. Thought i’d share the recipe we’ve been using. They are surprisingly easy to make and everyone says that they are the best pretzels. Enjoy!

I just wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas. Since Steve is up observing, it was just Leyna and I for christmas today. We slept in, had a leisurely morning, talked to my fam, then went for a nice xmas hike. I had plenty of offers to spend xmas with friends, but I decided to just stay home. We also watched some xmas movies ate some xmas cookies, and listened to xmas music. Though it was a beautiful day in the upper 70’s it was hard to believe it’s christmas. I miss the cold and the snow but tomorrow, I’m sure i’ll be glad it’s summer and sunny, and will probably go to the beach. Here are 2 pics from our xmas hike…
I also wanted to wish Terry (my father in law) a very happy birthday! Hopefully we’ll get to celebrate it together next year!!!!!

Sorry I haven’t been blogging lately, it’s been crazy around here. Steve is getting ready to go back up on the mountain again and I’ve been busy getting ready for Christmas. On Thursday, Joanna and I attempted to make gingerbread houses. I had envisioned this wonderful house and this is what it came out to be:
Joanna’s, of course, looked much better than mine, but what do you expect from an artist.
Tonight, Steve is going up to the mountain to observe for three nights and I’m going to my friend’s house for a nice Christmas Eve dinner. I’m busy now making cookies to bring.

To realize this tree in the backyard (1 of 2 tress in the yard) is not merely to look at. It actually grows damascos- otherwise known as apricots. Free snacks!!!!!

Steve and I spent this weekend together, hanging out. On Saturday, we worked around the house, sat outside in the sun, watched TV and played games. Sunday, we christmatized our casa. Rob and Joanna also came over Sunday evening for a few beers on the patio. I LOVE my new furniture!!!!
