OMG what a blizzard we had today!  It was Cupcake's first real snowstorm.  As much as I do not like the outdoors or hanging out in the cold, I pulled out my ski pants and the three of us headed outside for a long & cold family day of clearing the driveway, and BUILDING OUR FIRST FAMILY SNOWMAN!  Oh and when we were all finished Cupcake pulls the scooter out of the garage to ride around too.  

Like a good mom should do,  I got her nice and warm so we could snuggle with a great big cup of hot cocoa with lots of marshmallows!  Then she crashed out and I am sitting here waiting to see if she is gong to wake for dinner...

Yesterday was a "Pinkalicious"  day.  Since we read the book, live in it, and wear it...Jackson, Cupcake, Nana and I made it a "Pinkalicious Day!"  We had a great time.  From beginning to end check out our pink cupcakes.

After Cupcake had pinkitis (pink all over her arms, face and fingers), ate a bunch of pink cupcakes, and got pink icing all over the house she took quite the bubble bath!

Daddy pulled out the dryer and played beauty shop with her.

Lots of pics!

Before March comes let me get in a quickie with pics!

We have been so busy.  Jackson, Cupcake and I were in NYC last weekend for fun.  From seeing The Little Mermaid on Broadway to ice skating to our last stop at Amercian Girl Place we had a fun filled two days in the city.

The pictures are a bit scattered but I am still learning how to use my MAC.

Cupcake is having such a blast just living life.  She makes motherhood so easy!

The End of a great weekend

We had a great weekend escape to the Split Rock Resort in the poconos.  Our friends thought they were getting the call to leave to get baby no.2 so Thursday Night the last weekend in January we decided we would meet in PA.

This place was cool.  It was like 4 star  indoor camping but the kids loved everything from the indoor pool to bowling, the arcade, and the indoor waterpark.  Both families cleaned out their kitchens,  brought all of the groceries and cooked for the weekend in our 2 bed 2 bath with living room and a full kitchen suite.

Other than the fire department coming when I made steak & eggs for breakfast on Sunday, it was a charming and perfect weekend!
