Last night I baked and decorated almost 200 mini cupcakes. They were added to about 8 dozen cookies that had been baked this week. Hopefully many of them will be eaten tomorrow at my parents semi-surprise birthday party. They both turn 60 this year while I’m turning 30. This party was the brain child of my non-official adopted little sister who goes by Tink and designed by her and Andy. It’s being executed by a team of us with our counterparts adding support, encouragement, and a whole lot of cooking! Last night the sisters gathered at my apartment with my boyfriend while I tried to bang out the last of the cooking and decorating. It was a fun atmosphere interrupted by burst of frustration and clumsiness. By the end of the night I was exhausted and sore and not finished. But I looked back on the work with a sense of accomplishment and more importantly, family. Working on this project has brought us close and I feel thankful for every tired, sticky, messy second of it.
