Long Day/ New York

Yesterday since my sister made it to states we all had to go to Fryburg which is an hour and a half from here. We stayed basically the whole day and there were 4 races. Girls skate and classic race and boys skate and classic. Then we stayed for the awards. It was a very long day. Then we had 3 families over and our neighbor to celebrate the race and stuff like that. Now for the New York thing we are going to be going soon and meeting up with my moms brothers family and going to see the lion king which we got the CD for so we could listen to all of the music. It is going to be very fun I am going to take pictures and post them so you can see stuff. I think it is going to be very fun. My sister is getting her braces on Wednesday and we are leaving on Thursday. Well that's all for now.

Testing!

Yahoo!!! I have finally figured out how you add and image to your blog. My sister is getting her braces in about a week. My brothers birthday is tomorrow and so is valentines day. It is going to be very busy. I also have flute and communications as well as skiing after school and homework and obviously my brothers birthday. Talk about crazy. We are going to make moon cakes over break. Yummy!!!

Cooking and Piano

My piano recital went great. But.. I did mess up. My mom said that nobody noticed except for me but I still can't believe that I messed up on that. For cooking on Saturday we made Beef Bourguignon from the barefoot contessa cookbook. We used fillet mignon. Expensive or something my mom says. It was very good. We all liked it except my sister didn't really like the beef (she's not a meat lover). What I didn't really like in the dish was the pearl onions and the carrots which I had to chop diagonally to make it look fancier. Everything else wansn't bad. We also had some rice with the dish and we poured the sauce over it and it was really good. On Sunday I made Honey Apple Torte. It was so good. Everyone loved it. It was also really easy to make. I think that I will make 2 of them and then put frosting on it and then it could be kind of like a cake. Anyway, just wanted to tell you. Have to go and make zucchini bread!

This Week and Weekend

So happy that it's the weekend! I had skiing on Friday and I felt as if I really improved. And on Thursday I had a band concert. It went really well. After that we had ice cream! (yummy!) Today we are going to go skiing.Me and my sister have a piano recital on Sunday and after that we are going to a super bowl party. I might watch a little. I really don't see what's so exciting about football but whatever. People can think what they think. I hope I don't mess up at the piano recital.
