Cake Anyone?

I think we started a post-Thanksgiving tradition today; Sheila and Ashley came over and we had our first lesson in cake decorating!  The main focus was on roses, with a few shells, lettering, and other techniques also.  Sheila was our master teacher; mom and I made a rose, scraped it off, made a rose, scraped it off repeatedly, and the girls focused not only on making roses but on decorating little cakes too. 

Preparing the work space.
(Don't those chocolate cakes Sheila baked look amazing?!?)
Anxiously waiting!
Practicing creating roses.
Such pretty colors to choose from.
Lydia's bouquet.
Ashley's lace and floral creation
Rachel's Tron-inspired identity disk cake.
Such beautiful cakes!
Once we had completed our practicing, we sat down to afternoon tea and, of course, cake!

Thanksgiving!!!


Oh my . . . oh my, my, my . . . I am full!  If forced to choose, I would have to say that Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday.  It has amazing food and fellowship (and it does not matter if we have twenty people or just us six, it is always wonderful), without the pressure of gifts and thank you cards. 
We had a grand total of thirteen people this year, and we spent seven delightful hours eating, laughing, playing games, and (of course!) more eating.  I am sad to say I did not stop to take a single picture; I was having way too much fun enjoying myself to step back and document things.  C’est la vie!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Disney Blues

We have been having a bit of Disney blues lately.  As of the tenth it has officially been over a year since we went to Disneyland, and there are no plans to go for some time to come *sniff*.  So, we plan on a having a very Merry Mickey Mouse Christmas to make up for it!  Details to follow as the season draws near . . .
November 10th, 2010.   
Our last night right after the amazing World of Color spectacular!
