exciting news! we will be adding a new member to our family this monday! i haven't met her yet, but my dad visited her today. she's cute, from what i see in the photos.

so! this will be our 3rd dog. thinking about it makes me a little worried.

i hope lacey handles it well. a new sister! she's kinda jealous.

{...well, hopefully not. i am kinda tired!}

my attempt at a "G" haha

birthday cake:

hello out there!

life has been crazy, as always.

my birthday was on saturday, so we had two of my grandma's over & my aunt & uncle over for dinner & the baked alaska i made.

{it was my first experience & i give it an A+!}

seriously, it was beyond delish.

i also got a new phone a week ago, so that's what i've been taking my photos on.

{talk about convenient!}

so here are some of my cake making:

the beginning of my baked alaska. it took 2 days.

with the ice cream. i chose strawberry, but you can use any flavor.

with meringue. yummo. it is soo good!

now stick it in the oven for 5 minutes, & presto!

best birthday cake. ever. making it again next year for sure.

daniel says he wants it for his birthday now, too!

the next day, {sunday}, emilia, mom & i went for a snowshoe/walk in the field.

here i am in the woods. so beautiful. :]

notice theo in the background. it look like i'm poking him with our broken snowshoe pole.

it's february 1st! one month closer to spring.
