I am amazed that Christmas is a week away. I am excited that school will be done for two weeks starting this Friday (YEAAAAH)!
Here are some quick updates: I had a birthday party for Amanda (her first one;-/) I know, how could that be, but when your birthday is in December, I think you get the short end of the stick. Anyway, it was last Wednesday, and I am glad she had fun and finally had the experience of a birthday party!!
Another update is that we helped plan our ward Christmas party and it was on the 13th. I am SO happy it is over and done with. No more waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts of "did we cover everything?". I slept like a baby Saturday night;-)
I think that is it, so enjoy the picture of Amanda's birthday party!

The girls started out making their own crowns



Then they made necklaces and ate tea sandwiches with "tea" chocolate milk


My disaster with the cake. So I kept going back and forth with the thought, should I make it or just buy one. While I was trying to decide over a couple of days, I had put the cake part in the freezer. Anyway, I decided to make it, but waited too long to pull it out of the freezer ( who would've thought that it would take more than three hours to defrost) Anyway, when I was done frosting the half frozen cake, I couldn't get the barbie in (another thing, you are suppose to buy a barbie that has a peg for a body, not a full figured one, I was too lazy to go to a special store and get one) SOOO I got a knife and tried to make a hole for the full figured barbie to fit in. I thought it had worked, but as the girls were making their necklaces, I see movement in the corner of my eye and it was the barbie cake cracking. The girls and I were laughing SO hard

Then I got a kabob stick and skewered her back together;-)


They still ate it and that's all that matters!
