It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Yeaaaaar!

Ahhhh! It's finally winter break!!!! :D (I've actually been on break from school for a couple of days now hehe) I apologize for the lack of blog posts lately! I haven't had many opportunities to decorate any cupcakes/cakes/baked goods......until now!!!! ;)


Opportunity #1: Bake for Northwood's Girls Basketball Team
Earlier this year I told people around my school that I would join the basketball team (jokingly). People didn't believe I wouldn't do it so I went to a couple of practices just to see what it would be like. Overall it didn't seem tooooooooo baaaaaaad but I still didn't know the rules of the game and I wasn't dedicated enough make the time commitment.. hahaha.. But after not officially joining the team, two of my friends (that are already on the team) told them that I'd still be part of the team...but as their "team baker," so I finally baked some cupcakes for them! (;
Opportunity #2: Dance Theatre Christmas/Holiday Potluck Party
It's a tradition for dance theatre to have a christmas/holiday party every year. This is my first year being in dance theatre, so I was thrilled to be included in this tradition! (: 
*note: the girl's basketball team and dance theatre cupcakes occurred on the same day which is why they look similar








Opportunity #3: Gifts for Teachers
I normally don't give gifts to any of my teachers. It's not that I don't like them, I just...well..don't? I will admit though, I did kind of always feel weird not giving anything while most of my friends would but, hey what could I do? It's not like I could drive myself and get money to buy anything! Heck I barely even get anything for my parents or sister! Hahah my parents usually just put my name on the tags ;)
Any who, this year a few of my teachers knew that I enjoy to bake so I decided to bake for those who supported me for it :)
*note: There were a two different variations.
Can you tell that the ones on the front left are supposed to look like hot cocoa? ;)
Along with the cupcakes, I made hot cocoa mixes/cones (not pictured)

Just for funzies.....!
Before being let out for winter break my school had a spirit week! 
Monday: nothing, just a normal Monday...haha
Tuesday: Pajama Day. I didn't take a picture but I was wearing a full on doggie pajama set (pants, long sleeve top, robe) that I've had since I was in sixth grade
Wednesday: Twin Day
Me and My friend, Tiffany. Our friend Nicole was also supposed to dress up like us but decided to not wear the socks and a grey top... ):
Thursday: Matching hat and scarf day

You see all of the scarves in the picture? ...I knitted them ;) If only I knew how to make hats!! ):

Friday: Ugly Christmas Sweater. This was the only day I didn't participate...




That is all for now! However, I have another holiday party tomorrow so who knows if I'll update again soon! Hehe ;)
