I brewed some coffee and knew it would be the first place John was hobble to in the morning...he followed his clues and found his gift in the garage (yep - a new car...you know: just something small. Just kidding!).
And when Logan went to sit up for his special breakfast, he found this card that sent him on a scavenger hunt around the house. He did great and had such a fun time finding the next card! When it was over and he had opened his gift, he said, "Mama, I wanna do it again!" It was a hit!
Then we enjoyed a lazy day all together. While John and Logan played, Bennett napped and I made these special cupcakes. I'm nothing of a cook or baker, so I was pleased they turned out as well as they did. So simple and pretty cute.
I made these with my mammoth muffin pan, so they are BIG.
Kid-sized (sort-of)
My parents offered to come over and watch the kids for a few hours so John and I could get out. We had a great time! The best part: our date was totally free because we used a gift card for our fancy dinner and then scored coffee from our friends at Starbucks before heading home. We enjoyed the time to sit and talk without interruption! And, of course, the boys enjoyed their special time with Papa and Nana. After my parents left, Logan was still in the mood to play and be rowdy (maybe because of the cupcake?!). He made this little "fort" out of his two hockey nets and wanted Benny in there with him. Logan was convinced that we couldn't see him in his fort and kept saying "Shhhh...Benny...we're hiding!". Such fun!
Bennett: "Lemme outta here!"
Logan: "You can't find me!!!"
Playing nice
Hope you all had a lovely day filled with laughter, family and friends!

What a great day you had! I forgot about all those scavenger hunts I had to think of clues for. You kids always loved it so it is a fun thing to do! Maybe Papa and I started something when Logan was hiding behind the net and we couldn't find him!!! XXOO,Nana
Wow, I am so impressed with your cupcake decorations. Are those marshmallows? You'll have to tell me how you did them. The scavenger hunt was such a fun idea too.
