Our mini Nigella, a light dusting of snow and some Christmas crafting

Eat your heart out Nigella, watch out here comes miss Molly. And look what she made, well with a little help from her Mummy. We must of made about 36 of them and i have to say they tasted so much yummier because of Molly's help. Poor Daisy missed out on making these because she was fast asleep on the sofa full of a cold and Calpol, bless. We gave the lovely ladies and Tony at the cupcakes playgroup a box of these all wrapped up with a pink bow and some naughty green and blacks cookies. Just to say merry Christmas and thank you to them. I think I'll be making more this year and giving them as yummy gifts. I was so happy how they looked all wrapped up in a box. A nice little treat.

Here is our light dusting of snow, it made everything look so pretty.

My mother's day tulips are just poking their heads up through the snow, i can't wait for them to come out, oh how i love the Spring time. Every things new and full of life and everywhere looks so beautiful. Roll on the Springtime...

Tiny footprints in the snow lol they almost look like the moo cow has got up a walked off. (that's what under the pile of snow and he's looking a little green lol).

Well it took a few days for it to melt and the cupcakes and i jumped in ever bit of snow left on the ground on our walk to playgroup but sadly it's left us now. Oh how i wish we could get the sort of snow Ben and i remember getting as kids, so thick it lasted for days and you could build snowmen and go sleighing in it. I'd love the cupcakes big and small to enjoy the kind of fun we both had as children when the snow came.

I thought I'd share with you our cupcakes first Christmas decoration creations from playgroup. They both came home everyday with something new and i had such joy in hanging them in our front window. These will be treasured forever more.

I love that Mr Snowman has his hat upside down lol me thinks he's been at the mulled wine lol

This year brings a few new changes the biggest one being Molly starting big girl school in Sept. It seems a million miles away now but i know it will be here sooner than later. Daisy will be 3, hopefully leaving the terrible two's behind her, Jade will turn 14, two more years closer to the big 16 and making choices of staying at or leaving school and well Ben and i who knows, we might be planning our wedding for sometime this year. Have to see how the pennies go. I don't want a big thing just family and close friends. Reg office, pretty photos by the castle, nice dresses for the cupcakes and a little do back here at home in the garden. Bunting hanging, cupcakes baked, bubbly on ice and some music. Awww perfect. I'm planing things in my head already and have lots of money saving ideas for a wonderful day.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend and hoping no one else is struck down by this mean old bug that's going around, it seems everyone I've spoken to has had it. I've been a lucky bunny and only had a day or 2 with a tummy thing and little cold. I must be strong as an ox lol just hope i don't look like one hehe! i know i ate to much food this Christmas, well someone had too finish it off.

Hugs,
