Valentines Cookie Decorating Party!

My Godmother Ginger has done a huge Valentines Cookie decorating party for the past - I dont' know 30 years. I went to one every year while I was at BYU and loved them, so I thought I'd continue the tradition in my own family. This was the first huge one we had and it was so much fun!

I only had energy to make about 15 of the huge cookies, but we had dozens of smaller ones for everyone else. There were about 35 people in all and so much fun!

Brooklyn had SO much FUN with all these kids around!

It was a perfect way to finish our wonderful time here in Valparaiso!
We will miss you all so much!

(For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
