Time just keeps flying by! We are getting ready for Chloe's birthday party tomorrow. I know, I know. Her birthday was a week ago. But last weekend we had our youth Winter Retreat- to which we took Chloe with us. She had a great time and bossed most of the teens around! Since it was her birthday weekend, we made sure that we did extra special things with her. After one of the night services, we went to the Aquatic Center to swim. One afternoon we went ice skating and of course we did way too much shopping!!!! The downside, though, is I forgot my camera!

For her birthday breakfast, Chloe asked for pancakes with homemade whipped cream. She savored every bite of this rare breakfast treat!!!!

Jeremy and I are getting things ready for our trip to South Africa, which we are so excited about!!!! As much as I love traveling, I am NOT looking forward to 22 hrs of flight time! It might not be as bad if it was a non-stop trip. But that's just not possible. So with airport time, the trip is around 26 hrs. But the weather will be wonderful while we are there!!!!! I love 80 degrees, sunshine and ocean!

Here is a picture of my latest cake creation. It was a 16th birthday cake for a girl who loves BRIGHT colors and books. Odd combo, I know. But she absolutely LOVED her cake!!!! I'm just about ready to turn my cakes into a real business ;)

After tomorrow's party I will have more pictures to post!
