Leaving on a jet plane...

Right now Dan and I are waiting to board our flight to Phoenix, AZ. The airport isn't nearly as busy as we thought it would be which is always a good sign! Hopefully this stays true for the Phoenix airport as well.

Recap from 2 weeks ago.... Last Tuesday a snow day for Dan. We braved the snow to make a trip to our favorite store. I would like to give a shout out to my husband for being such a trooper and letting me take a million pictures of him.
 For dinner that night we had eggs and hashbrowns. I tried perfecting over-easy eggs for Dan. I think I did alright.
On Wednesday Amy and I went to a boot camp class and decorated gingerbread houses afterward. It was my first time decorating gingerbread houses and using a kit really made it easy!

Over this past weekend Dan and finally decorated our Christmas tree. I also got to open up some early Christmas presents. I LOVE what I received. I now have a recipe for whatever occasion I need! I'm looking forward to testing many recipes when we get back home (especially from my baking book). The baking recipe book is really great. Each chapter is divided based on type of pastry/baking item (cookies, bars/brownies, pies/tarts etc.). At the end of each chapter are some tips on how to avoid common mistakes that can cause bad results... like flat, brown cookies for instance.

My lovely presents!
Our Relief Society Christmas dinner was canceled due to snow so I made my peanut butter kiss cookies for my neighbors and I also took some to work. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out.

The last two days have been spent in preparation for our trip home. We are so excited to see family and friends. See you all very soon!

All ready to go home!
