Sweets

Since Friday was a Snow Day and Monday President's Day the boys' Valentines Party was scheduled for Tuesday.
Yay! A little extra time for baking.

I decided to give the teachers some Red Velvet cupcakes with Butter cream Frosting.

I think they looked so pretty.



I made the packaging simple and I really enjoyed how they turned out.
Never can go wrong with colored stock paper, twine and brown packaging paper.
The containers were 3 for a dollar at Dollar Tree.



E's class was having donuts, naturally no store was selling Valentine donuts anymore so I had to get creative. Bought 3 dozen donuts, made a simple glaze that I drizzled on top so the sprinkles would stick. Quite honestly I don't think the kids would of cared, they would of just say'd Ahhhh and swallowed these babies whole!



On a different kind of sweet is this.........

The boys watching a Mockingbird eat off of their bird feeders.



They just stood there staring at our little guest. I hope this little guy spreads the word so more little visitors will come.


Something relaxing about watching birds while at our dinner table.





Hope everyone has a wonderfully blessed weekend. Our's will be nice and lazy...were sleeping in!
