Only for die-hard chocoholics

Bekah was home over the weekend, and although I have been behaving myself VERY well and haven't been eating much sugar, I decided that the occasion warranted making a special treat. So we made these little beauties:

We got the recipe here and here and they were deeeeeeeeeliiiciiioussss! Of course, we ended up with way more cupcakes than any of us wanted to eat (well, that's a lie.  I wanted to eat all of them, but I was able to exercise a moderate amount of self-control), so our home teachees and visiting teachees got a sugar-high this weekend whether they wanted it or not.

Full moon

This was the view of the mountains to the east of our house when I was driving home the other night.  I just happened to have my camera, so here you go.  I thought it was kind of pretty!

Christmas and a cruise

Since we're already almost halfway through February, maybe I should get my Christmas post done.  (Before long I'm going to be one of those people who sends out their Christmas cards for Valentine's Day.)

It was so much fun to get the family together - that's always the best part of Christmas for me.

We appreciated Jeff, Rachel, and Forrest coming out to spend time with us. I don't think any of those three got much sleep during the time they were here, but it sure was fun to have them!  You can see here how thrilled Forrest was to see us all...

Two weeks after Christmas Dave and I went on our long-awaited cruise.  We actually booked the cruise almost a year ago, so yeah, it was a long time coming!  We got away from the cold and snow in good old Heber, and took in a little of this:

Yep, it felt good.
