Baking in a Winter Wonderland! :)

This week has been quite the adventure! Olivia and I made a batch of cupcakes, a triple layer cake for my dad, filled out more college apps, created a "Winter Wonderland" poster for the elementary school class we volunteer at, and went to bed past midnight every night. I call that a success. Or torture. :)

Everyday after school, Olivia and I go for 3+ hours to volunteer at our old elementary school and love every second of it. The kids are great and their smiles always brighten up our day!

After 3 successive days of painting we finally got this poster done along with all of the kids adding their own personal portraits of themselves doing their favorite winter activity. Overall, really fun!

On Thursday night, Olivia and I wanted nothing more than to fall onto the couch and see nothing but the inside of our eyelids for the next 12 hours. However, we had a job to do!

One of our favorite aunts, Renee made a request for 1 dozen Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes, so after 2 hours of standing and simultaneously doing homework we somehow got them done in time for pickup the next afternoon! Whew. Each time we finish a request and see the smiles on the customers' faces it makes our day. :)

A dozen for her and a dozen for us because, you know, taste testing. :)

Love you guys!
