Snow Cones on a Snowy Day?

It seems like there are a million things to do in December.  We got the majority of our Christmas shopping done, and the kids found a few of the unwrapped gifts in the closet.  They were pretty excited, so we know that they will like what they got.  =)

We just got done with Sophie's bday, and now it's time for Ella's.  I'm in the process of planning what cake to make, and I think I am going to try fondant.  I've heard it doesn't taste the best, so I am going to use it sparingly.  This time, I am going to make the cakes up ahead of time and freeze them so I don't have to worry about doing it all the same day. 

I would have to say that December is our busiest (and most fun) month!  Here are some pics of what wrapped up throughout the week:

Excited to scoop off the deck.

I wonder how long that will last.

Not even a basket of toys will stand in the way.

First batch of jerky.  Did our second batch this weekend.  Soooooo good!
