Winter Wonderland...

We've had a wonderful January enjoying Christmas presents, baking, playing in the snow and looking forward to spring. Okay, so let's be honest. The looking forward to spring part has been especially strong this year because one or more of us has been sick over the last month. We're not normally sick very often so this year's fluke is a real puzzler. Needless to say, although we love winter and all the baking and winter fun, spring couldn't come soon enough!

Sasha received an apron from Gibson this year and particularly enjoying putting it to good use while making the pumpkin pancakes from a mix that Brandan and Becky gave us for Christmas. It was delicious! Sasha absolutely loves helping in the kitchen. Her "helping" usually consists of mixing anything and everything while it spills over the sides, using the measuring spoons and cups to pour various amounts of water back and forth and pretty much wanting to be involved in every aspect of making the food. It is such fun to see her learn, although you try explaining to a 2-year old the concept of food poisoning and bacteria as she pleads with you to handle the raw chicken.

Sasha is carefully examining the contents of the package and telling me how we should prepare it.
Sasha (with lots of help from her papa) made her first snowman ever! Okay, so we've slacked a bit on the snow activities due to illness floating around our house like crazy. However, we have vowed to make up for it with the last remaining bit of winter. Sasha's had the flu for the last week with a temperature of 104-106 so we're just focusing on making it through this and then we'll get to some more winter fun.

Sasha was queen of the snowman for the day.

This month, I'm hopefully going to start to selling my handmade cards and little girls' aprons at Serendipity, my brothers' store in Salt Lake. We'll see how it goes. The photos below aren't the best quality, but hopefully you get the idea. The first one was a birthday card for my brother who loves Adidas; thus, the logo and homage to Adidas. :)
