Spring Flower Cookies

 A couple of weeks I made these flower sugar cookies for a ward activity.  This is my second time trying out decorating with royal icing and I'm really liking how they turn out.  The royal icing recipe I use is from here.

Happy Birthday Spencer!

My baby turned 2 today and I can't believe how big he is getting.

Here are a few things about my Spencer at 2 years old:

- He is a big cuddler and loves to give hugs.
- He is really tall for his age, people are always asking if my two boys are twins.
- He is very temperamental, he can get grumpy really fast and stay that way for awhile.
- It seems like he always needs to be eating something (notice the apple slice in the picture). 
- He loves doing anything his older brother is doing.  I'm pretty positive Preston will get the both of them into trouble a lot over the next few years.
- He loves to eat anything that involves rice and chocolate (but not necessarily together).
- He still isn't talking (following in his brother's footsteps), but he knows several signs. 

 Making the birthday cake:

 Spencer was not happy that he couldn't get the box open.

Opening presents, Preston was really unhappy that nothing was for him.

Singing happy birthday to Spencer.

He wasn't to happy here because he ended up touching the flame on the candle.

February Crafts

I took a little break from crafting after Christmas because I was a little crafted out.  I'm excited to get back into it and start making lots of stuff.  Here are a couple of crafts I made recently.

I made this menu sign from svgcuts Farmhouse Kitchen SVG Kit to put in my kitchen.  Originally it's suppose to be a card, but I decided to make it a lot bigger and into a sign (I actually wish that I would have made it even bigger than I did).

This cute little ice cream cone box was so easy to make.  I made it for a sister I visit for church for her birthday and filled it with a little treat.  This is from svgcuts Ice Cream Birthday Kit.
