This is the post where I talk about Elyse visiting.
So Elyse has been here since Monday, which has been great, and very busy.
We just hung for the first 2 days, but on Wednesday we went to Deb & Matt's (& Doug's) St. Pattie's Party.
Elyse and I decided to make Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes with Irish Creme Frosting. We also cut out a stencil to use to make the shamrocks on top, cuz we're just that cool.
They were amazing. Here is the recipe.
On Thursday, Elyse and I headed up to Princeton to hang a bit before Grant got off work and we went to see American Buffalo.
Awww.... they love each other.
Awww.... they love each other.
'Today, after hitting up the gym, Elyse and I made Earl Grey Tea Cookies that looked like buttons. Even though they turned out a little crunchy, they went very well with some Rosemary-Infused Lemonade, plus they were super pretty, which really matters the most.
So far we've had a great visit. She leaves on Sunday, so we still have a game and a half.
Right now, she and Grant are playing the longest game of Scrabble ever. At this point it's been going on for an hour and fifteen minutes....

I just told bill that the first thing I am going to make when the ovens are in is those cupcakes!!!!!
I think you should send them in for one of your boys birthdays, and giggle when you think about it (like the time I made jello fruit salad for a family party with peach schnapps and the only two people that ate it were Uncle Bill Stephens and Gramie.. whoops!!)
