Snow and a snake cake...

Guess who got a snake cake for his birthday! I loved making this one because it was such an easy birthday cake. You just make a bundt cake, cut it in half, turn to the shape of a snake, and frost. Bada bing, bada boom. I make a chocolate chip cake with cream cheese frosting. You can make snake diamonds with M&Ms, eyes with Jr. Mints, and a tongue with a cut up fruit rollup.

We also got the gift of snow this Saturday morning! My parents weren't able to make it up, but Mimi and Pop Pop arrived before the snow did. We sat in front of the fire and played with presents, ate crockpot chicken tortilla soup, and watched the snow fall. And now they've left to go back to Norfolk, the house is quiet and filled with snow reflected light, the laundry is spinning, the baby is napping, and David and Seth have gone to have an adventure in the neighborhood. Ahhh.....
