Year in Review via Cupcakes

After I read through my year in review post I realized there were major parts of my life missing that I didn't want to forget.  Like how incredibly happy I am that I got to build friendships with all my nephews.  They are so precious!

 

  

And then there are all the cupcakes (and other baked goods) I made this year.  I don't know what it is about cupcakes specifically, but I love them.  I think for me it's the giving them away part that is the best.  The first time I made a batch in Kirkland and drove around giving them away (so I wouldn't eat them all) really got me hooked.  I loved seeing the surprise on everyone's faces.  Nothing better... maybe I should be a delivery person for a flowershop or something.  I think I get the same feeling day in and day out!

January- Alicia's Lil' Peanut Baby Shower
