my BFF, Mia holding her son and her daughter in the bottom corner of the pic
speaking of my BFF...her son's 100th day celebration was this past weekend...and she asked me to make 50 cupcakes for the event...last spring, she asked me to make 100 cupcakes for her daughter's 1st bday and i'm lucky that worked out well. here's a pic of the cupcakes i made for sarah's bday:
and here are pics of the cupcakes for joey's 100th day (a significant milestone for Korean babies that is called "paegil" i think)...
before the sprinkles i used to bling them up a bit
with sprinkles...aka cupcake bling
on display at his little shindig :)
the guest of honor himself on his mommy's shoulder
tons of korean dishes made by Mia's MIL
my favorite korean dish - chap chae (clear noodles with vegetables and meat) YUM!
then there were my co-worker's bday...Vanessa and Tim and we celebrated at Hido's Japanese Grill where they became sushi chefs for about 5 mins each...
and then my friend Kathy's bday was also last week...
me, kathy, and jen
let's see what else...ah, yes...last friday our house church group prepared gift boxes for Operation Christmas Child...here's what hubby and I put together (one for a girl and one for a boy)...
and then today i got to see Becky at church! yay! she recently moved to the west coast and i've so missed her...
i also got a txt msg from Sonya who, with her hubby David, were in town for the holidays and asked to meet up for lunch...which we did. i forgot to get a pic with them this afternoon...but here's one of us from this past August when we met up for the 2nd year in a row at the Maine Annual Lobster Fest...
I heart these new yorkers who introduced us to many wonderful east coast eateries!
okay - oh, yes, i did recently take pics of my craft room...but i'll post those tomorrow...along with some cards i made recently....hope y'all enjoyed my photo update post! LOL
