Day 85: A Whole New World

Thursday night we had our Aladdin movie night. Dessert was Abu's monkey bread. This is a quick Pillsbury recipe but Aaron can't stop eating it. :) It's really good. (Everything will be posted on my Disney blog Saturday morning.)

Day 84: I See Trees of Green...

I love all the trees around our neighborhood and I love the look of these trees that are on one side of our complex, even though the picture really doesn't do it justice at all. It is gorgeous as the sun is setting (I need to try and get a decent picture of that).

Day 83: Cake, Cake, and More Cake

That's how I feel every time I have an order to do. :) Anyway, Aaron's boss wanted a few treats for the meeting he was having today with some of the owners. So I made some sparkles, hamburgers, and a few cupcakes. I don't know if you can see the hamburgers very well in the pic, but they actually turned out pretty cute.

Day 82: I Have A Wonderful Husband

So the Christmas decorations have been down for a couple of days and Ashlyn was still missing the Christmas tree and everything. Aaron had to run out to return our movie the day before I took this picture and came back with flowers, saying that he knows it's hard to go from Christmas decorations to nothing, so he wanted to get something nice. Plus, he always gets me yellow flowers around my mom's birthday (Jan. 3rd) because she loved yellow flowers. :)

Day 81: Stocking Up

I had a last minute cake pop order and needed to get some candy melts. Luckily, Joann was having a sale for candy melts, 50% off! So they were $1.50 each so I grabbed some I might need in the near future, too. Yay! It was my first time using peanut butter melts, too. I made sure to make those pops with chocolate cake. :)

Day 80: 3, 2, 1...

I almost forgot to take a picture on New Year's Eve, so I took a picture of the cake we had for dessert. We had a very low-key night. I honestly couldn't tell you what we watched (we rented a movie but ended up watching it the next day... Friends With Benefits... it's an awesome movie. I'll be buying it soon or asking for it for my birthday). Oh, actually I remember flipping back and forth between the Lady Gaga concert on HBO, Encore, or whatever channel it was on, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, and some other random things. Aaron and I mainly just hung out together and had fun. :) Ashlyn went to bed at her normal time, but I'm thinking next year maybe we'll try to let her stay up. We'll see. :)

Day 79: Our First Kale Chip Attempt

So for awhile now I've seen lots of blog posts about kale chips and how yummy they are. I've been meaning to try it out, but just hadn't. Our grocery store had them on sale recently so I grabbed a bag to try it out. It didn't turn out perfectly (I overcooked them just a tad) but they had so much promise, we are going to try again soon.
