 ## Description 
 
-(Describe your goal for this project. If you want to link to an 
-image, move the image to this directory, and then use the following syntax:
+I will create a christmas tree with three triangles on the top, and then a brown tree stump at the bottom. Also I will create 2 presents for underneath different colors
 
-![Description](filename.png)

-)
+coreection: As I thought about it, I am changing this to a 3 tiered cake with sprinkles.
+each layer has a different color. I feel more comforatble w this
 
 ## Planning
 
-(Include your planning here, including your project milestone.)
+### milestone 1
+write rectangle (width, height, color) and square() functions
+make the cake tiered, 3 levels
+
+i struggled with iteration for sizes, and positioning of the three levels, but i prevailed
+coding the functions for the square and triangle seemed easy enough
+it is easier than writing a different size code for each tiered square
+
+completed***
+write code for rectangle and square
+create a function for each of these
+***It took a long time, but I have the codes for rectangle and square
+
+
+### milestone 2
+use iteration to make the sprinkles
+color the cake's tiers red, gree, blue
+also create a list of sizes for the squares using iteration, as well for the sprinkles
+
+
+### milestone 3
+combine all functions and iterations and colors to make the final cake
