Catching Up

Funny. So often my blogs are posts about how busy I've been and how I need to catch up on blogging. And here's another one. Here's to catching up.

We went to Florida for Christmas break. It was wonderful. Full of relaxation, family time, and of course shopping with my mom and sis. My sister got ENGAGED, which is crazy...because even though I'm engaged...she's my LITTLE SISTER! Craziness aside...I am so happy for her and so glad that Jeffrey will be a part of our family now! We all love him! Christmas day was full of loveliness. Lots of wonderful and thoughtful presents (including a kitchen aid from Santa!!!!), and a day filled with family. We went to my uncle's and as per tradition had a crazy game of croquet. The trip felt way too short and I was sad to leave my family.

Since we got back to Madison we've been enjoying some fun winter activities (although the snow melted on an abnormally hot day for a Madison winter). Luckily there's still ice skating. This past weekend we went ice skating on Lake Monona. It was amazing! Conditions are rarely good enough to be able to go skating on the big lakes. It was magical. There were lots of people out there and you could see there tiny silhouettes all across the lake.

Ok...that's all the catching up I'm doing for now. Oh except I'm super excited about this. My friend, Connie, and I are doing this thing called Iron Cupcake. There's a theme (citrus this time) and you make a bunch of cupcakes. People come and judge who's are the best. I'll update you with what we come up with to make!
