Cupcake month


Should we just re-name the month of January "Cupcake Month"? We have three birthdays and an anniversary all within 20 days of each other--- what were we thinking? Actually, that's the problem, we weren't thinking!

Last week we went through 5 boxes of cake mix, 1 brownie mix and a pie from MC. On second thought, maybe we should re-name the first week of January "temptation week" My family is doing a "biggest loser" challenge as part of a new year's resolution. I have sworn off sweets for one year and this birthday party food is testing every ounce of my self control.



Eden had a mock slumber party on Friday and Luke took a couple of friends to Chuck E Cheese the following Tuesday. Note for the future--parties away from the home are A LOT less stressful.

Our cupcake time of the year is April through June. 4/17, 4/18, 5/3, 5/3 and 6/7. Plus, we tend to do a "family party" and a "friend's party" for each kid. Yikes!!

Looks like they both had lots of fun! Hope your anniversary was/is splendiforous and sweets-free.

Your kids are growing up so fast! And, hey, at least you have something to celebrate in the cold, dreary winter month of January! (That's why we got married in January - we wanted something to look forward to after Christmas! Hope you are all well and survive the partying!

Dave and B-
It was SO good to see you guys! Annika LOVED playing with Edoo. All she would talk about for days was Eden. "Mom, why can't Eden live here?" "Can we sail to Washington?" It was really cute. Anyway, we are missing you guys so much already! I'm so glad you are planning TRIPS this summer! We will be looking forward to it!
And HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to EDEN and LUKEY!! We have a little something for them but are a little, okay a LOT late getting them off!:) Maybe by the time Tuck's Birthday rolls around we can get it together!! Give them all lots of hugs and kisses from us. Love you guys!
P.S. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY on Tuesday!! EIGHT YEARS and counting-WOO HOO!!

Cute cute kids! I love that I recognize all the features in your house - like "that's a cool chair that all the kids are sitting in - wait, that's Bianca's anniversary present from a few years ago - it looks good in that placement, etc".

Always looking out for ya.

As for B-days, i sent all of my boys up on the train and grandma threw them a party. It really should have been my b-day present-to be alone by myself for a few days and not having to throw a party- huh? can you say "lazy, tired and 8 mos pregnant??"

hope to see you next week!!!!!
I love cupcakes and your kids are growing up fast.

You are stronger than I am. I can't say no to any sort of "treat"!! You are my inspiration to at least cut down. :)

Bianca--similar situation for us. Sydney's day is the 19th and Simon's the 22nd. I feel bad for Si--I usually don't have much energy for him after doing stuff for Syd. I look forward to when they will be a bit older and we can say, "let's go snowboarding this weekend--call a friend" (their days almost always straddle Martin Luther King, Jr Day).

I am impressed by your will-power (can I have some???).
