Christmas fuzzies and cupcakes

Christmas Cupcakes! I filled my first order of cupcakes this weekend for a friend from work. Three dozen cupcakes left to my creative genius, and here is what developed: A sour cream vanilla cupcake with buttercream icing, and a chocolate cupcake with mint cream cheese icing dipped in white chocolate, garnished with crushed peppermint. Mmm, boy. This makes me want to open a store.

Besides that, Christmas is coming! I am so incredibly excited. We have a silver and pink Christmas tree in our living room, and it is gorgeous. And even better, I get to spend Christmas in Idaho with my lovely family.

To ring in the Christmas spirit, I decided I needed to do a little gift giving. I signed up for Sub for Santa with the United Way foundation. Shopping for a five year old is a lot more fun than I thought. I don't think I've ever felt so many warm fuzzies as when I delivered those gifts. I guess you could call it the Christmas spirit...but it definitely reminded me of how truly blessed I am to have a wonderful family, stable job, caring friends, and a quaint little apartment. So if you're interested in getting a little of your own Christmas spirit (there's still two days left to do it!) or for next year, here's the link:
