I love a Buffett

This is just for those of you (aah hmm..sisters)that know I never met a buffett table I didn't love to fix up all fancylike...here's my latest attempt at it...

It's a mini dessert bar which includes: chocolate pudding cups, cheesecakes with a blueberry on top, brownie pops, mandarin orange cupcakes and rasberry white chocolate sandwich cookies









Here it is in it's full glory. BTW-it was for the Garden Party Neighborhood Church Night.







Much Ado

Tis the season...for Shakespeare, that is...every spring at Canyon Rim Academy there is a casting call for all 5th and 6th graders to put on a classic tale. This year's was Much Ado About Nothing. Our very own Adeline was cast as a townsperson as well as a dancer in the ballroom scene. I was able to help out by choreographing the dance and it was fun to be involved in the big event.


Way to go Adeline...next up, she will be narrating her class' rendition of Macbeth in May.


Piano Federation

"Excellent". That's what that gold certificate my amazing daughter is holding says. It was earned through hard work and lots of practice on 2 piano pieces that she recently had to memorize and perform in front of judges at the annual Federation competition event held up at the University of Utah. To me, though, it represents more that just her piano playing abilities...it represents her. She truly is an Excellent Girl!

Valentine's Day Dance

This can't possibly be my 6th grade little girl...can it? I mean just look at the lovely pose she is striking and the fact that she is actually excited to go and dance with a boy? I don't know if I am ready for this stage of her (and my) life, but...ready or not...here it comes!

Thanks auntie Lindsey for the soda machine...

A.J.'s stash...



Adeline's Caboodle...





Zeus grew a beard and donned a Santa Suit...I know, I know we are totally annoying pet people...refer to previous posts to see how it all happened.







Adeline had her Christmas piano recital at the University of Utah...she rocked the Chipmunks Christmas solo! Next she performed in her schools show choir Christmas Extravaganza...WoW..busy girl!





Trimming the Tree

I am sure everyone out there has a Christmas Tree Tradition...ours just happens to be the best, wink, wink. There are a few very important main ingredients to make it just right...

Firstly-Food! Not just any old food but spray can cheese with chicken in a bisquit crackers, Katawba Sparkling Cider, Chocolate covered cherries, orange sticks and other goodies are a must.



All that "health food" really gave us the boost we needed to take our tree over the top!
