We had frosting on noses, chins, cheeks, foreheads, even pants! I only wish I had my camera to commemorate the occasion! Even though we were covered in frosting like the piglets above, we had a great time!

Pictures
I have never posted a picture from the internet on this blog. That is until now. Today at lunch we enjoyed cupcakes for Lauren and Leanne's birthday. At the end of lunch this is how we looked.
