Snowmen In April

Last month at a friend's birthday party, Anika won a cute little recipe book. That evening, Aubrey was paging through it and decided she wanted snowmen cupcakes for her birthday party. To a mom of twin babies and 3 others, the cupcakes looked ridiculously time consuming. The week of her party I made numerous attempts to direct her otherwise, I told her to look through the book and see if there was anything "neater". She appeased me each time, and always came to the same decision. As it became obvious her little heart was set on Snowmen cupcakes in April, I sent Shawn shopping. As happens occasionally, I took on too much in the 48 hours prior to the party including going back to work for half a day for the first time since the babies and teaching a 3 hour class an hour after getting off work with the babies in tote. After 2 hours of work on the cute little cupcakes the morning of the party, the babies needed to eat so I left the cupcake finishing to my mother in law who arrived just in time!!! She did a great job of finishing them off with eyes and hats!
