cupcakes

I've always loved red velvet cupcakes. Not sure why it just hit me that maybe I should attempt making them. Well, I did and I'm so proud that I'm sharing with you. Sometimes I forget in all the rush of life what possibilities lay right out in front of me, especially this time of year. Things seem even more rushed with the hustle and bustle of holiday preparation. Baking, decorating, shopping, wrapping, singing, parties...yup, it's Christmas. Funny thing is, I love all of these things that make this time of year seem crazy—if only things could just slow down so I could enjoy them. And when Tay put one more magnet on her countdown to Christmas this morning and informed the world that there is just 5 more days to go, I sighed just a little. And then, as we pulled in the drive from church, I noticed the most beautiful frost on our porch decorations. It was so perfect that I grabbed my camera and stopped for a moment...I started taking pictures all around. Funny how through a camera, you can see so much more, ey? Anyway, I hope you can also stop for a moment and notice all of this wonder around us. May your holiday be blessed and full of zing.
