One day I will be making and baking again. And when I do... I am going to make these...

Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting in adorable homemade cupcake wrappers. That's right, homemade! These are usually super expensive so I was so happy to see this blogpost and FREE template. Go here: http://www.snowandgraham.com/blog/?p=339

Just print, cut, glue, and slip these adorable wrappers on after the cupcakes bake. I was on such a cupcake kick for a while I am suddenly missing them- ha! More pics of Allie to come... Still just snuggling and loving and not getting much else done! ;-) (Except for reading blogs while I nurse half the day away!!)

3 Weeks...

Here is a pic of little Miss Allie at 3 weeks. She is so dang cute and still so hard to put down. Ever. Even when she is sleeping. This stage is so fun to just snuggle and cuddle them all day long. Her little neck is getting stronger... She is over 9 pounds now... and she smiled her first real smile.... to Ger! Rude! ha! He got back from being in Oklahoma for 5 days and she gave him a huge real deal long smile. I was seriously jealous. Especially after all the long nights I had with her while he was gone!

But we've had a blast with my sister Melissa here and her baby Evie who were here last week... and also my Mom who spoiled us the week before.... This week I am on my own and definitely staying in "survival mode." bah! When do you get back to "normal" after adding a new one to the fam?!? So I have lots more pics to share but just no time to do it! Hopefully soon I will get back on some sort of schedule... ;-)
