My wonderful sister-in-law sent Taryn a cute little book called "Pinkalicious".  Her girls, who are a bit older than T, just love it.  Thanks Aunt Dana!!  Pinkalicious is now all the rage at our house.  Since the very first reading, I have been getting requests to bake pink cupcakes.  So this morning we broke out the supplies and got to baking.  All I heard was "pink, pink, pink" LOL!  Thankfully I had some leftover pink stuff still good from Valentine’s Day.
