 It may not look beautiful on the outside, but it sure looks cool on the inside (and tastes good)!

Abby's latest baking project ... more complicated than many!

polar plunge

Belatedly posting this pic from January 15th when A & A organized and executed their own private polar plunge. Hot cocoa cheers on the dock after a successful and short swim in Lake Washington. Photo credit to Ainsley's parents ... I had been planning to cheer them on but was instead dealing with a surprise flat tire. 🚗 Glad they took advantage of a beautiful Friday afternoon!

 We had so much fun with new years eve sparklers that we are going to share SO MANY pics.  This is a small sampling of our best shots.  We could have kept going for hours.  Sparklers 4evah.
