Family Pictures

We got our family pictures taken because Brent said that we could do our first Christmas card. They turned out really well for having 2 little girls that were hungry and did not want to cooperate. Prepare yourself for a bombardment of pictures. . .

New Blog!

I started a new blog. It is just for my recipes and crafty things. I will still be posting family stuff here. Its called Cupcakes with Sprinkles...days made sweet. Check it out. I think it has turned out pretty cute. I am still working on some stuff but its as complete as it can be with only having 1 post.

The First Snow!

Last week it snowed for the first time. Annie was so excited that I had to let her go out. . .

She did not however have any boots. . .

But she did have a lot of fun even though her fingers and toes were freezing. . .

She is so cute. . .

Buttercream Frosting

I needed a frosting recipe for a dessert I was making for a party and I found this one. Its a lot of frosting but we made cup cakes and sugar cookies and I am never sure how much of anything I need. So I always make to much.

Buttercream Frosting

1 cup Butter, softened

8 cups Powdered Sugar

1/2 cup Milk

2 tsp Vanilla

In a mixing bowl, cream butter. Beat in sugar and vanilla. Add milk until frosting reaches desired consistency.

Halloween!!

Halloween is not my favorite holiday. I dont like dressing up, I HATE the smell of the pumpkins when they are being carved and I dont really like candy. But it has been fun to get to watch Annie enjoy this holiday. 

It began on Monday with Brent and Annie carving pumpkins.They had a lot of fun together. . .

Their pumpkins turned out really good. . .

Annie's. . .

Brent's. . .

Annie was a fairy princess, like Dora in the Trick or Treat, Dora! book she got for her birthday. . .

 

 

 Maycie was a ladybug. . .

Just a couple of cutie's together. . .

We had a party at Brent's parents on Sunday and Brent and I made these little babies for dessert. . .

Annie after eating her skeletons face. . .

It is always fun to take this picture of the kids in their costumes. . .

Maybe I will start to like Halloween after all, I don't think I will ever like the smell of pumpkins but I love to watch Annie enjoy all of the fun!
