The Holidays are here

We have had a busy week. We had Thanksgiving over at Scott and Brittas, we had a baby party for Claire and Luke, and we had fun hanging out with my parents who drove about 40 hours in total to see us! Yes- Cliare does not turn 2 until the end of December- but we celebrated early with family. Although- I'm sure she'll have another small party on her Birthday too! Sorry I do not take enough good pictures during events... I am just not good at event photography I guess!

Most amazing Cheese cake

I have spent the past 2 days making a cheese cake. I checked out a book at the library all about cheesecake and I was going CRAZY to make one! I've had the book less then a week... ;) It is a great book!
It took a lot of time and effort to make the cake, but I LOVED making it! It was really pretty fun. I was so very impressed with myslef because the cheese cake didn't crack or sink or crumble. It was really a perfect cheese cake. The top half is chocolate moose and the very top is chocolate ganache. I think it turned out so beautifully. I have only eaten a sliver to make sure it tastes good. We will eat the rest after dinner tonight! I can't wait. I may gain a few pounds from it though. It tastes AMAZING! I am so happy to have made a good delicious cheese cake! Now I won't have to buy them! Although- to make it was REALLY pricey (like $20 of ingredients) Yikes...

Tinker Bell Buns

Anyone who has a little girl may know that it is difficult to get them to want to do their hair every day. Who can blame them? I myself would rather not do my hair any day. In order to get Liv excited about hair we make up names for hair styles. This style is called "tinker bell buns".
