FreeRice

I was given this website by a friend at work today. It's a fun way to test your vocabulary. http://freerice.com/ Mom, I think you should really try it, I want to know what level you would get to.

Holiday Success

Well, I must not be such a horrible christmas baker. I made Wassle, Mexican Wedding Cookies and Glazed Nuts for my work's "12 Work Days Until Christmas" today and everyone loved them. That helped my confidence in making Christmas goodies. Maybe I'll get the guts up to try that fudge again. :) (P.S. That is not a picture of my real cookies, but I'm putting the blog up at school before class and I thought I would at least include something that looked like what I made) Heehee

The Wheels on the "Hummer" go round and round

Better watch out I have a new drive in town. It's yellow and it's big. The only thing that's missing is me in it. Christmas came a couple of weeks early for me. I won this bad boy in a drawing at work. Look forward to having some fun.

Oops! I Did it again

Charity came over Sunday night, just in time for us to make holiday goodies. So we made some delicious caramels, cute little Mexican Wedding Cookies (minus the powdered sugar), and a sorry excuse for fudge. My sister and I about wet our pants because we were laughing so hard at our fudge. We had to take a picture to prove how ugly it looked. We wanted everybody to laugh with us. I think we must have cooked it at just the right temperature for the sugar to crystallize and separate from the butter. It still tasted really good though. We put it back on a low heat to see if we could get the sugar to redissolve and it did help a little. We decided to call it a chocolate crumble rather than fudge. Que Sera.

Christmas

The Christmas holidays are here. Faith and I decorated the tree and our apartment. What a wonderful time of the year see christams trees and lights. City Creek Park up through Memory Grove have their lights decorated like this. It is very pretty at night, especially with the snow we've recieved.

Linton's Thanksgiving

We gathered for the annual Linton's Thanksgiving dinner. We had a great time with family members. Although we did miss Vaughn who ended up having to work. Thank you for the smiles.
