More Cakes

I just wanted to share pictures of my most recent cakes : )
Christmas cupcakes for the Gordon's Heating and Cooling Christmas party.

Flavors:
-Chocolate cupcakes with a mint brownie filling, and iced with chocolate malt frosting.
- Vanilla cupcakes filled with cherry cheese cake filling and iced with cream cheese frosting.

They were quite delicious!


250 cupcakes for our friend Kelsey. I don't think I'll attempt doing that on my own again, but as usual I learned a lot!
Flavors:
-Chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate peanut butter cookie dough.
-Vanilla with cheese cake filling again. These are a popular flavor right now : ).

Look at that cupcake stand! Kelsey's dad made it just for the reception! It's amazing.
Wedding cake for my friend Lynn. It was my first time making a FOUR tiered cake!
The whole cake was white cake.The fillings were cream cheese with lemon cream, and cream cheese with blue berries. Also very tasty!

*Favorite Pictures From Christmas*

I don't have much time to write, but I wanted to post pictures from our Christmas!

Playing with the choo choo at Grandma Lizzy and Grandpa Dan's house, was the highlight of Danny's holidays! I'm pretty sure they bought it just for when Danny comes over to play. Can you tell he's the only grandchild? ; )

We decided we better put lights up since we live in a real house now! The pictures of the rest of the house didn't turn out, but I loved my door! Nick took the lights down for me over the weekend and I miss them.

We celebrated Christmas Eve at Nick's Grandma's where it was snowing clean-x! We had a contest who could empty a clean-x box the fastest, and I won one round! I always miss my Spratling family when I can't be with them on the holidays, but I love my Leonard family too! We had so much fun with them this year.


This next line of pictures makes me smile so big.

Danny did very well with all the decorations this year. They were all down low where he could reach them, and not a single one was broken! These little gift boxes were the only ones he was really allowed to play with, so he loved them.




Danny has discovered his belly button!

These three pictures by the tree also make me smile very big. I'm so glad I got good pictures in the five seconds he kept his hat on!
Christmas seemed extra special this year with Danny understanding it a little more, and Aunt Ashley getting home from her mission! The excitement of Nick being home from OCS hasn't really worn off for me either, so that made Christmas special too.
We had so much fun partying with ALL our family, and were pretty tuckered out after it was all done. Merry Christmas everyone!
