Here are some things that made me thankful/smile/excited this week:
~~~~~~~~
Kelly's 50th Birthday! ~ Last Friday, January 29th, was my sister-in-law's 50th birthday. We celebrated with ice cream cake! I got her 4 cases of Diet Dr. Pepper/Cream Soda as it is her favorite! I'm sure she'll be sharing though. Happy Birthday, Kelly!
Angel Food Cake! ~ Saturday was Kaylee's day to cook. She made Southwestern Casserole and an Angel Food and blueberry dessert. It was our first time to make an Angel Food cake from scratch (usually we buy it premade). It wasn't terribly hard and turned out to be soooo delicious :) I'm thinking of sharing "Kaylee in the Kitchen" posts if she continues to cook. She has Enchilada Stuffed Shells planned for this Saturday :)
Blog Views! In December I had 6232 views on my blog. For January I had 8720 views. That makes for a total of 2488 more views in January than December. These numbers may not seem like a lot to you, but to me they are exciting :)
~Driving Safely! I was so worried when Kaylee left to go to work on Monday as it was still snowing heavily. She made it there safely and I was good until it was time for her to drive home. Thank the Lord, she was able to leave 2 hours early and made it safely home by 10pm. I breathed a big sigh of relief!
Laken's Birthday! Last, but not least, was my Baby Girl's Birthday on February 2nd. She's my little groundhog baby and I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. She turned 14 years old (14!) but at times she thinks she's 24! I guess that is the way of teenagers. We celebrated with cake and Chik-Fil-A. Love You, Laken. Happy Birthday!
What are you thankful for/smiling/exited about this week? Tell me all the good stuff!

DeleteDiet Dr. Pepper is my favorite. But interestingly enough, I can rarely find caffeine-free Diet Dr Pepper since the pandemic. My mother's birthday was on February 2 as well. Happy Birthday and Happy Groundhog Day to your daughter. :)
