It's almost Christmas Time :)

whoa.  did this weekend go by fast or what?

sunday morning i woke up to.....

NO SNOW.

so, so sad.

but at least i got to teach my first yoga class since the surgery.  i sure have missed teaching and my students and my sunday afternoon yoga sessions.  it made my whole monday so much more relaxed!

i was so surprised that I got through everything on my to-do list this weekend, because the list was long.  it was so nice to wake up this morning knowing everything was done.  except now i have an even bigger to do list to do before next week:

-  english paper (7 pages... eeek)

-  history paper

-  huge chemistry exam

-  bake cookies for friends birthday

but... i only have 8 more days of classes left before winter break!  loving it :)

last night i was done with everything early, so i decided to bake some pumpkin cupcakes.  i love baking on weekends because then i get to bring it to classes on monday mornings and see if i found a new favorite!

i found an amazing recipe for Pumpkin Pound Cake Cupcakes with Cinnamon Brown Sugar Icing from My Kitchen Addiction.  

the finished product

oh goodness... who could have taken a bite?  :)

they were really sweet... but absolutely incredible!

i also got an amazing early Christmas gift today from an amazing friend.

she had heard how i wanted a pink Christmas tree soo bad... and didn't know I already got one a couple weeks ago

my pretty tree decorated with ribbon

so.... she brought me over this one!

how cute is it!?

now i have TWO pink Christmas trees.  and i love both of them very much.

she also brought me this cutie

love her.

whew.  okay, back to crunch time.  i have a super busy week... but i also have some amazing posts planned :)

night loves!
