Winter Birthday

My nephew comes to stay with us every other weekend. This last weekend was his 12th birthday. I jumped at the chance to make some cupcakes! I got my inspiration from Tidy Mom who made some cute snowball and snowman cupcakes.

This is the first time I made butter cream frosting, but I will do it more because the flavor was great!

My snowmen are a little melty, b/c I should have put the frosting in the fridge to firm up a bit. Hey aren't snowmen supposed to melt eventually? ;)

My handsome nephew Shane!

Cold Feet

My kids have always gone barefoot in the house. Now that its getting colder I want them to wear socks or slippers, that doesn't happen because they are 1 and 2 years old and the first chance they get....the socks come off and forget about slippers!! Either way I have to get something on their feet.

Funny story, my daughter who is 1 year old had trouble walking in regular socks on the hard wood floor so I took some socks with out grips and bought some puffy paint at the craft store and made slipper socks!
