Easter Cupcakes and a Fun Friend

I really wanted to make a fun Easter treat, but I didn't want to make a whole cake since it is just the two of us. I saw a fun idea to decorate Easter cupcakes in my 500 Cupcakes cookbook. I decided I wanted I wanted to try them, especially since it "required" Cadbury Mini Eggs, which are pretty much my weakness at Easter time. I made them last night. The cupcake didn't turn out so good, I don't think I will be using the recipe again, but I mostly wanted to decorate them. I think they look pretty cute what do you think? It is supposed to look like a little birds nest. You used shaved chocolate for the nest, I also saw that you could use baked pie crust, but, I am a chocolate addict!



Also, on Tuesday we took some family photos for our friends the Marshalls. We spent the warm afternoon at the park and on campus taking some good shots. When we got in the car to go to campus their little girl Belle was sad that we weren't in the car with them, they told her we were lost and they had to find us. She started saying Marc where are you, Melissa come back, I miss you too much! Of course she said it like a 3 year old would, but we are glad she likes us. When we were walking back to our car she wanted to walk with Marc, so I took a few pictures of them. She was holding onto his back pocket the whole way, it was really cute! He will make such a great daddy one day!


It's not just Marc that Belle likes so much. I was over there today for a little while, it was really rainy last night and everything is wet, so I took my shoes off, I stood up to leave and was talking to Christine, I turned around to put my shoes on and Belle had taken them into her room to hide them so I couldn't leave! I asked her where my shoes were and she took me to her toy box in her room. I took one out and but it on and she threw the other onto her dresser. We are glad that our friends kids like us as much as their parents do.
