Cupcakes

| January 7, 2018

Ever since Christmas, Sam has been begging me to use my new icing tips that Mark got me. She loves baking and playing with frosting. She always seems to forget though that you have to actually bake the cupcakes before playing with frosting, so it takes some time. Well, we finally did it! I made a giant batch of buttercream frosting and we played with different tips and different colors. We had a ton of fun and Sam did a great job! And we have yummy cupcakes to eat!

Snow Day!

| January 4, 2018

Sam was so excited to have her first snow day off from school! We got about 4 inches, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it was the timing that did it. I stayed home and managed to get a good bit of work done, but then we had to go out and play! Sam has been dying to go sledding all winter. The only other chance she got was an early snowstorm and Mark wouldn’t take her because she was acting like such a brat.

That trek up the sledding hill is so hard! And Sam always manages to ditch us before we can get her to pull the sled.

At least someone likes the snow!

Sneaking Notes to Sparkle

| January 4, 2018

I was putting Sam to bed last night and she was clearly trying to be sneaky. I know she put something under her pillow but she didn’t want me to see what. I didn’t want to upset her so I just let it go. I figured I could peek later. Well, in the morning Sam was very excited to show me that she had left the tooth fairy a note, even though she didn’t have a tooth to put under her pillow, in hopes that she would write back. Sparkle did!

Sam is the luckiest kid around!
