Recap of December

I cannot believe what a whirlwind December was!

Here is my month in pictures:

I cooked a LOT!

Prize-winning peppermint Christmas tree candy1216092249

And prize-winning cheese straws.

We had a holiday food cook-off in Ashburn for the downtown holiday open house and I won in two of the four categories! I got $100 to spend around town and I didn’t waste any time. I promptly bought this lovely bundt cake candle and some ornaments for our tree and some delicious food from our local butcher shop, Carroll’s Sausage.

My husband and my sister’s boyfriend Zack went hunting for a week in Helen and got to see (& camp out in) the first snow of the season.

And my youngest sister Sami turned 19. I made a rainbow cake, but I dropped it (plate down, thank goodness!) so it wasn’t so pretty but it was pretty good!
