Winter is Here

I woke up this morning and this was the view from our living room window.





Although a lot of people here like to complain about the snow, I really like it. There is just something magical and calming about it. As far as I see, the only down side to the snow is having to shovel it from our walkway!

Happy Birthday Ben!

This year we celebrated Ben's 28th birthday on Halloween....three days before his real birthday on November 3rd. We had a great party and the bishop's wife made Ben this awesome "Happy Birthday" pumpkin. It was really cool and incredibly thoughtful!

This year I found an awesome recipe for a chocolate cake at epicurious.com. Unfortunately, my final product looked more like a giant mud pie than the mouth watering image they advertised.


Their Cake: My Cake:

Although my cake left something to be desired in terms of appearance....it tasted fabulous and everyone seemed to enjoy it. In the end only this one small piece remained.
