Cupcakes, Cousins and Aunt Betty

My sister-in-law Betty is much more than the "run-of-the-mill" Aunt to my grandsons, William and Camden.  They spend a lot of time at her house and love her dearly!!  I'm happy to share "grandma" status with her as she loves and cares for them as well as I could (with even more patience!)  She is always coming up with fun things for them to do, and while I was there in January, she decided she was going to make cupcakes and let the boys decorate them. 

WHAT A BLAST WE ALL HAD!!

 Putting the chocolate chip on the cupcake with his mouth!!

It was too cute...he'd get the chip, put the tip in his mouth and very carefully place them on the cupcakes. 

Can we please just eat one now?!

Mmmm...these are pretty good!

This one's for Papa Bill!

All finished and ready to clean up!!

We have a new Granddaughter!!

 

Chesleigh Abigail King

born January 5, 2010

8# 4 oz - 19 1/4 inches

Parents are Carl and Crystal 

  

Proud big brother is Camden giving his baby sister her first kiss.

 

Having a daughter came as a huge surprise to Carl and Crystal as they "did it the old fashioned way" and didn't find out the sex of their baby until she was born.  The look of awe on Carl's face when he came out of the delivery room pushing her little bassinette to the nursery was priceless!!  Crystal's Mom and I both squealed in delight so loudly that Crystal heard us in the OR.  Chesleigh was born by c-section and put her mark on the world feet first!  Hmmm...already doing things her own way!  

Their little family settled right in with Camden anxious to read his baby sister a story.  I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of that in the days to come.  He will have lots of things to teach her.

I can't go without posting some pictures of the proud Grandparents and Uncle Zeke with Chesleigh.  Enjoy!!
