December Has Been Crazy...

... and then last week when time started freeing up I got sick and all I have wanted to do is sleep and watch ridiculous made for TV movies on lifetime.
But before all of that I took a trip down to Utah to see some friends and we went to see the lights at Temple Square, very fun, insanely cold. I always enjoy just relaxing with friends and making up new rules to make games funnier :)

I also was introduced to a new method for making gingerbread houses that is really cool. All you do is melt white sugar in a saute pan on the stove and then dip one edge of the graham cracker in the molten sugar and then add the other wall, within 30 seconds the sugar has hardened and you do not have to worry about your
little house falling down. I also got to make up some new ways to make trees- some of my gingerbread house making friends did not bring their creativity with them- I won't mention names.

My branch had a service auction and I had a lot of fun making caramel & candy covered apples, and I ate so much chocolate making them that it was probably better that someone else have the finished product.
