I've been in a crafty mood lately but Minnesota doesn't have quite the crafts that Utah does. So I knew that we needed to go to the Wood Connection while we were in Utah. We found cute snowmen, hearts, and owls to paint. We decided that the snowmen were the most relevant and I packed the rest away in my suitcase for later projects. I convinced Cody to paint with us and he ended up spending the most time on his snowman- to his credit his snowman was very intricate, he is more patient than I am.
Painting the snowmen
Finished product! I made the snowwoman with the snowflake pin and the snowman with the blue scarf, my mom made the snowwoman with the red scarf, and Cody made the snowman with the tuxedo
That night my friend Megan and her family and my friend Russ came over for dinner and to make cupcakes. This is a tradition that started a few years ago. We get together at Mama Hong's house (Megan's mom) and have dinner and then make holiday cupcakes. We have made Easter cupcakes, 4th of July cupcakes, Thanksgiving cupcakes, St. Patrick's Day cupcakes, and Valentine's cupcakes. This time we convened at my parents house and we made New Year's Cupcakes.
