Engagement Party at Primo Art Spa

Congratulations to Nate and Joy on your engagement. 

Happy Planning!

Christmas Day, 2013, at The Aalgaard Farm

Cheers to the happy couple!

We celebrated with Joy making us a pineapple/chicken stir-fry with jasmine rice.

Genessa, a friend from Portland, tried out her new shortbread pan.

Shortbread cookies with orange zest and chocolate drizzle.

We decided that we don't count calories during the time from Christmas to New Year's!

Fun snowflake pattern to commemorate her time in wintery Minnesota.

Krista and Mary, indulging.

Another friend from Portland, OR, skyped in.

Relaxing together.
