I still haven’t taken down the Christmas decorations… I’m pretty sure the cat thinks that the tree has become a permanent fixture in the office, and he is pretty happy about it. Thade has been on my case about “not having enough time to get the decorations down”, so I am setting a goal for myself, by this weekend the decorations will be down and put away. Well maybe not the outside ones, our yard is still encased in ice…
I’m heading to the store armed with comp ads, coupons, and maybe my reuseable shopping bags too. I’ll probably tick off whomever is waiting in line behind me, but I am in need of the shopping savings. What about you, are you a fan of the comp ads?
GO PACKERS!!!!!
Agnes enjoying Christmas morning…
Yesterday we were baking some cupcakes to pass the time, and to give the kiddos something to do, and I heard my phone go ” ding ding”. That means I’ve got a text, and this one announced another snow day!
These cupcakes are prefect for the snowy weather, and another day indoors.
I baked off a batch of French Vanilla cupcakes, cause that was what I had on hand. I checked the pantry for some decorating supplies, and grabbed the decorating sugar and the vanilla snowman marshmallows too.
I didn’t have frosting on hand, so I whipped up a batch. I can’t tell you the exact recipe, because this is one frosting that I made up as I went along. It does include: Vegetable Shortening, Margarine, Powdered Sugar, Granulated Sugar, Goodman’s Vanilla, Flour, and Lactose-free Milk, and it is delicious, but really unhealthy.
Once the cupcakes had cooled, I iced them with the makeshift icing, and topped them off with the decorative sugar and the snowmen too.
They look like a “Winter Wonderland” to me.
Thade gave them a double thumbs-up!
Dylan thought they were pretty tasty too. He might have liked his Christmas ring-pop a little more, that is why his lips are all red.
I think the cupcakes would be super tasty with a big cup of Hot Cocoa, or an ice cold glass of milk.
