Making chocolates at my Gpa's!

My sister Nick and I have started a holiday tradition of going over to my grandpa Bert's house and making turtles, chocolate covered caramels, fudge and cookies! This is the second year we've done it! It is a lot of fun to catch up with my gpa and learn new tricks in the kitchen from him! Best tradition we've ever started and I hope we continue it for many years to come!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

I only get to say that once a year! and it always comes and goes by so fast! Birthdays really havent been special for me since age like 12. I never have bday parties because nobodys around on my bday. I'd love to have a huge party and celebrate me getting a year older! and all of the accomplishments I made during the year! But when it comes time to planning the party and actually going I get nervous, and I dont like to be the center of attention! Well in my mind I do but in reality, not so much! So I have this huge want for an awesome party but then again Im good without a huge party. Does anyone else feel the same way?
I'M 22 NOW!! WOW I'M GETTING OLD! ;)
On my birthday this year I went to lunch with my sister, nick and Aaron!! We ate at Panera bread. I had a really yummy bbq chicken salad! After we went to Aarons house and played my sisters bday present to me, Killer Bunnies! It was fun to sit and chat and try and get carrots and kill bunnies! We played Killer bunnies all the way up until it was time to go to dinner!

My first present of the day! Killer Bunnies!

Aaron and I ready to play!

Around 4:30 we left Aarons and went to the Melting Pot for dinner with my dad, Step mom, step brother, Katelyn and Nick!










The food was AMAZING!!! It took us 3 hours to eat it all! It was hard to walk afterward! SO MUCH FOOD! it was worth every bite! SO YUMMY!!! can you tell I loved it?! the chocolate fondue was my favorite!

After dinner we headed home! Once we got to my moms house Katelyn and Nick came in and hung out for a little while! when they tried to drive back to my dads house the Van wouldnt start! the lights were left on :( they needed to jump start it! AND of course none of us have jumper cables! SOOOO i called up my guy and he came to the rescue and jumped the van! After Nick and Katelyn went back to my dads house, I spent the rest of my bday talking to Aaron outside by his car!!
Overall not the best bday but not the worst either! it was fun to hang out with my sister and Nick as well as Aaron of course!! I ate some amazing food!! And got a few awesome gifts!!
