Shnarning is good for the soul.

Me and my sister Annie. We made the treats, Kevin made the non-treat food.

The multicolored cake of glory!

"Shnarn" is a word my Dad's family uses; it is used to describe any time with good company, conversation and food. Use it, love it.  Everyone needs a good shnarn.

So Kevin and I decided to have a house-warming party with some friends and family to celebrate our move. Course, without considering it, I scheduled it for the very same weekend as a 10 hour training with LDS Family Services for Adoption.  Needless to say, it was quite the busy weekend. But the training was So good and the party was so chill and relaxing that I was glad in the end that we'd done them both last weekend.

It's so good to be with close friends and family. Annie was really nice to drive down to help us set up, plus if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have had any of the cool treats we made.  She found versions of them on Pinterest; really cool website. And let's be serious, how cool is a layer cake with a gradation of colors? Right up my alley, I love a good gradation; in a cake, the sky, a painting or intaglio print. Try it!
