the Maxwell's Cupcake Day!

Today is Cupcake Day - at least for these Maxwells.  Find out its origins here.  Check it out in 2008, 2009, 2010 was forgotten apparently, and 2011.

This year was the first year that I/we didn't make the cupcakes.  There is a cute new shop in town (albeit a little expensive. . .well when compared to box cupcakes) that I thought would be fun to try today.  It was fun.  The kids loved their cupcakes.  But I just cant justify $10 for 4 cupcakes. . . all that often.  Anyways, cute pictures:

P.S.  Yes, there are a lot more pictures of the girls.  They were just too darn cute.

P.P.S.  No, I didn't dress the girls (okay, I did put on the headbands. . .).  Emmy got herself ready for gymnastics and even dressed Lucy while I was in the shower.  Super adorable.

P.P.P.S  These pictures were taken right before Jonas' haircut.  In some ways, his first haircut.  We've trimmed his hair a whole bunch of times and once we (Ben and I) totally buzzed his hair.  But other than that, he's never really had a haircut. . . until day.  Miles kept saying, "He doesn't even look like him."  Miles prefers the old look.  Jonas says he likes it.  And me?  Oh, that's tough.  It's a cute cut, for sure, and looks great.  But it's just different. . . and I think I adore his longer locks.  But at least I'm not crying.  Pics later on in the week. . .
