The holiday season is a great time to capture special moments with your friends and family. Collecting pictures, putting them in frames, creating scrapbooks is a fun way to hold on to those memories. These cameras from Target and Urban Outfitters make picture-taking fun and they don’t cost a lot of money. Are any of you talented photographers??

 Brrrrr…is it cold in here or is it the girls that just walked in the girls bathroom??! I can’t believe that a group of girls are so MEAN to me and my friends! I don’t know if you have girls like this at your school….but, these girls say nasty things to us or give us a “look”. I can’t describe it…but it just makes you feel like you’re a bug. I try to be nice to them but there’s only so much I can do…maybe one day they’ll say “hello” or realize that The Cupcakes are really fun and we would be friends if they would let us. Hope your day was better than mine! Sierra

Got any snow where you live? If so; do you make snowmen, play winter sports, or just stay warm inside and drink hot cocoa? If you don’t; have you ever seen snow coming down? Travel anywhere to ski or to play in the snow? Is Winter your favorite season?

It’s the holidays and that means lights! Sequins! Sparkles everywhere! It’s a great time of the year to be wearing sparkle and shine…on a holiday dress, cozy knit sweater, or fly under the radar with some sequined slip on tennis shoes or a glimmer in your hair.

 We had SO MUCH FUN at the light parade and riding on the float.  We went through town and SO MANY people were lining the streets and waving… we sort of all felt like celebrities (and hello! to all the kids we know and cute guys!)! The Cupcakes got to ride on the float- there were lots of trees all lit up and a gazebo that we got to stand on and wave to everyone. Do you have a light parade in your town? it’s so *magical*Ashley
