top 10?

Well, 'top' 10 may not be quite accurate. It's the end of the year and every t.v., blog, website, magazine, etc. starts posting their "top 10 whatever" of the year - you name it. There's best movie lists, top scandals, favorite trends, greatest youtube videos, funniest pets, great moments in history, and so on and so forth. So, i decided to have my own list. Is it a top 10? no. But it's a picture from each month of '09 with a memory to go with :-)

JANUARY - I was in Texas for most of Jan and for Dad's birthday the family went mini-golfing (sans Ryan) The picture is a little dark but it's my favorite from that night!



FEBRUARY - I was back in Connecticut and I was a teacher's assistant for a week long art class. These were the two students who gave me the most trouble but both wrote me thank you notes and hugged me at the last class :-)



MARCH - The start of many, many cupcakes. Why? Because I like decorating (and eating) cupcakes.



APRIL - Easter. As soon as Cora discovered that the eggs had candy, we couldn't stop her.



MAY - Cora-bora :-)



JUNE - Me and Nourtney singing together. First time ever.



JULY - In Germany with the lovely Anne-Kerstin :-)



AUGUST - Two words: Chocolate. Fondue.
Two more words: In. Switzerland!



SEPTEMBER - My wonderful and crazy room-mates, Celine (right) and Rocio


NOVEMBER - Don't adjust your screen. I don't seem to have any pictures from October so I'm showing 2 from Nov. This is one from my visit to Kansas City to surprise Nourtney on her birthday. They are watching a video of the family (in Wylie) singing Happy Birthday.


This one is from the Grimm Family Thanksgiving. That's my grandmother (Granny) giving my great-grandmother (her mom), Mama a hug. Mama is 99 years old! She doesn't usually make it to the family events because it wears her out, but she was a trooper that day :-)



DECEMBER - well, I'm waiting for Christmas pictures :-)

Cupcake decorating party #2...

A few of the gals couldn't make it to Wednesday night (see post below) and we had a TON of candy left over, so we had another par-tay...

this one i made specifically to eat...
Ricci and Sarah working hard... or hardly working...
it says Lunch, but it's hard to read from this angle...
Olivia was very intense... :-)
(little) Olivia has blue lips!


this was Silas's cupcake. Now, here's a smart boy. He came in and just wanted to eat the candy but we told him that he were for the cupcakes (after he already had a few pieces). We asked him if he wanted to make a cupcake and he said yes. So he grabbed a mini cupcake, decorated it and left the room. Came back a few minutes later, with the same cupcake, minus the candy and asked to put more candy on. We laughed but let him do it. He came back, 2 more times!

Cupcake decorating party #1...

I had a few of my friends asked me to teach them how to do a little cake decorating, so we got together last Wednesday. It ended up being a going-away party too for our friend, Cindy. Here's some pics of the tasty treats we made...

i got this idea from this great book called, Hello, Cupcake...
Oreo sunflowers, yummy!
Olivia and her "fish bowl" cupcake...
yeah, it's made with a mini oreo...
bird's nest...
this is Cindy, and it was her going away party...
it's like Willy Wonka's factory...
Brenda was quite proud of her easter basket cupcake...
Ricci and Jeremy - if he was a cupcake...
candle light, wine, oreos, airheads, cupcakes - so romantic...
