Cookie Making!

We did our annual cooking making day with Carol and Co. We ended up with quite a few different types of cookies:

- Russian Tea Cakes

- Spritz

- Pecan Tarts

- Sugar

- Mounds Balls

- Fudge

- Thumb Prints

- Peanut Butter Fingers

I think that's about it...

COFFEE CAKES!

Coffee cake baking happened a bit earlier this year. We ended up with only 114 cakes, I"m pretty sure I am to blame for this since I like to over fill! So this is what happens when I'm in control.

It was a great day with lots of food and lots of fun. Now I just need to remember to grab a frozen one out of the freezer whenever I want!

Arboretum

I'm a bit behind on keeping up with our life!

I took a day off from work in November to go to the Arboretum with Natalie and James. We walked way more trails than I expected! We had Natalie in her bike carrier so we didn't have to worry about her getting tired out - there was however no bike carrier for me! Regardless we did quite a number of trails, went through a couple of their mazes and in general had a great day! A few pictures from the day...
