A Goodbye

Finals are over, my first semester of college is complete, and winter break is finally here!!

I cannot wait to go back to Georgia, to see my friends, to sleep in my own bed, to shower in my own shower (without shower shoes), and to eat some Chickfila! I also cannot wait to spend Christmas and New Years in Nantucket with my family!

However, I already feel as though a part of me is missing. Hannah and Natalie have become family to me and I will miss them terribly during this break. So much so that I was reluctant to let them go board another plane back to their homes!

It’s only been a few hours and I already can’t wait to see you girls again in three weeks!

Snow in LA

One of the best parts about my job with Sprinkles is that I get to be a part of so many wonderful events that happen in Los Angeles.

Mattel, as a part of their many philanthropic efforts, hosted a Day of Play for kids of local inner city schools at the Mattel Headquarters campus in Los Angeles, and they asked Sprinkles to be a part of the day!

Snowman Ballon

This year, they decided to attempt to beat the Guinness Book of World Record for snowmen built in an hour.  They brought in real fake snow for the snowmen building and for sledding!  How fun!  Not many LA kids have ever seen snow before… now they get to build snowmen!  The world record is 1,279 and was achieved by CLEARLINK on January 15, 2011.

Sprinkles Cupcakes was there to treat the kids and Mattel employees with cupcakes after all their hard work building over 1000 snowmen!  They ended up 15 snowmen short of the record. :(

After all our hard work, Mattel was so kind to let us play! Yay!

Sledding in El Segundo… Never thought that could be possible! THANK YOU, MATTEL!

Happy Tom Brady Day!

For those of you who think that today is only about 12/12/12, the last day we will ever have repeating digits in our date for a very long time (monumental, I know), you are seriously mistaken.  Today is ACTUALLY Tom Brady Day.  Today we get to celebrate arguably or, in my opinion not arguably because he is, the best quarterback of ALL TIME!  NOW THAT’S MONUMENTAL!
