and another party.

a couple nights ago was the second christmas party of year. this one, two of my friends and i hosted. i baked. and baked. and baked. soooo much for it. it was fun though. :).

  then when i got to heather's we tried to make a lederhosen man...

he was cute at first....

but then...we put him in the over too long. :/. 

and he was still cute...just fat and rock hard.

then it was on to the main course, eggplant lasagna. sooo good.

oh! and these were labels i made for everything. :).

and here was my outfit. haha...

i try to be lovely. :).

then here are some of the things i baked. i love baking.

the cupcakes were by far my favorite....anything chocolate mint is my favorite.

and this one definitely isn't a dessert. but of course we just had to have sweet potato fries. :).

so even though some people couldn't come because it had snowed that day the party was super fun and i'm glad it was able to happen at all.

a new little town.

so this year. i decided to make all of my friends little bird houses for Christmas. they turned out a lot cuter than i thought they would..which is good. :).

today.

is a snowy day of rest and tea drinking.

so stoked. thanks God for today.

the first of many...

last night was the first christmas party of the year that i attended. :). it was awesome. i kinda helped set up...i say kinda because mostly i just took pictures and talked to my friend tess. haha. anyways. here are some photos.

busy. busy. busy!.

that's all i've been recently...busy. with gcn and exam life is just crazy!....and stressful. however! there has been some good business seeing as my birthday was recently. :). here's a few photos of going out to to eat for my birthday and then my actual birthday....and well one is just me being random and bored before going out to eat. :P.

so, the other day i was at the store and i accidently got almond extract instead of vanilla. i have no idea what to do with almond extract. so today  i made up a random little blueberry cookie recipe and used it. so good!.
