Cupcake time!

When we first found out that we were moving to Bend we decided to make a date with my family for the Bend Brewfest happening this weekend. I knew I wasn't going to plan a big birthday party for Lily this year so we decided to make a mini celebration on Friday since my mom and sister would already be in town. While I finished the dinner preperations, I let Lily start decorating her party cupcakes. She was doing such a great job of working quietly, I actually forgot that she was in the kitchen with me.

And this is what happens when you leave a toddler unattended with sprinkles...

In the beginning, everything is just fine...

She's nicely adding a few sprinkles at a time...

But then she decides that when it comes to sprinkles, less is not more...more is more...and the more the merrier!

Ultimately, half a bottle of sprinkles gets used on SIX cupcakes...but they are six beautiful, sparkly cupcakes!

In the end, I had to turn the first six cupcakes upside down over the sink and tap on them to shake some of the excess sugar off! Those things were cavities just waiting to happen! But Lily had fun and they were all her own design, so it's was a positive experience for everyone!
