Christmas Cupcakes

Nothing says Merry Christmas better then creating holiday cheer together with friends. Raising twins usually means where there is one there is usually the other. It's not often they are separated but Saturday was deliciously fun! One daughter was invited to a "hang out" (I've been told I can no longer refer to this as a play date) at a friends house without her twin; that meant I new what was coming... "what about me" feelings. Trying to ease her separation anxiety we decided to host an afternoon date at our house for one of her friends. It was an afternoon of candy cane cocktails(non-alcoholic of course) and making Christmas cupcakes while Christmas music streamed in the background. It was a fun way to spend a December Saturday.
