Birthday/Valentines Day

My birthday is 2 days before Valentines Day and sometimes the two events get a little combined.

This year we had about three feet of snow before my birthday. I didn't have work for a week. I was motivated to get out of my house for my birthday. Three of us dug out the driveway and freed two of the three cars. We met some friends for Mexican food. It was SO good and it was great to be out of the house. I was tired of being home and cooking and cleaning three meals a day

Before the fiesta I made it to the grocery store to buy some cupcake ingredients. The Harris Teeter was out of power yet people were still shopping and the credit card scanners still worked! I bought lemon cake and strawberry frosting. mmmmm

I made a small heart shaped cake and also 12 cupcakes to take to the restaurant
