Good morning DDA'ers! The sun is shining 
! The snow is melting, and my neighbors daffodils are blooming! For the moment, it looks like Spring!
We had a fun time with the twins birthday last night. I made a Pooh Bear cake (and it actually turned out well!). I even was so proud of it, that I took pictures, which I will post later. I also made bear shaped biscuits and mini hamburgers for dinner. I made a potato salad that I added ketchup to and called it Piglet's Potato Salad. It went over really big with all the kids! They loved it all. DH was so impressed with me. I may have blown it, because I don't think he'll let me buy another birthday cake! Oops!!! Oh well, it was fun!
We are taking the twins to Build a Bear workshop this morning so they can make their bears. They were so excited when we told them about it last night! I'm taking the camera so hopefully I'll get some good pictures!
Tonight, DH and I are going out to dinner with his brother. BIL is having Gastric Bypass on Friday, so this is his last meal. He wants to have a good steak and then come back to our house for my famous pecan pie! I was flattered that he chose my pie for his last dessert. It's baking now, and smelling so wonderful! Good thing I'm also making a low carb pie for me!
I hope everyone else is having a wonderful day! Denise - my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family at this hard time. Jennifer - I'm hoping that you do well on your exams. I'm sending lots of
for you! I'll check back in with you all, later!

) & it turned out really well. We were having a pirate theme party. I seen the cake in a magazine & thought it would be perfect. I baked 2 chocolate cakes(rectangle) & layered the cakes with chocloate frosting & then used fudge frosting on top. To make it look like a treasure chest we used a piece of cardboard wrapped with foil & then put frosting on that. We used skewers to place it on the cake. For decoarations we used fruit roll-ups for the straps & key hole(dh did this), candy necklaces, ring pops, & chocolate coins in the gold foil(there was more but I can't remember right now) I hated to cut it up for the party lol
This is my favorite, I can almost smell it baking 
I of course have never baked one, but my mil makes killer pecan pies for me. Someone have a slice for me! 
I didn't study except for like an hour though last night because there's some garbage to sort through with my in-law's and this house purchase. I would think the details aren't really any of their business, but what do I know 
(ooh, THIS is where this guy 
like for his area. 
your wedding announcement. So beautiful. Also saw that you just finished the Time Traveler's Wife - wasn't that an excellent read?! One of my all-time favorites!
Pictures soon, please?!
