Christmas Cake & New Pictures of Liam

Morgan made a Christmas cake last night from Southern Living's top rated holiday cakes....Chocolate-Gingerbread-Toffee Cake! It was a little challanging for her, but it turned out a yummy sucess in my opinion. As I have stated in the past I DON'T like to bake, so I am glad she does. Although it is a little frustrating when she needs help, because it is the last thing I want to do. Fortunatley she only needed help with the ganache filing this time. That double boiler can be tricky for a 13 year old. She is a fabulous baker and I am so proud of her. Take a look...

I found some more pictures of our little Liam on another blog yesterday (thanks Melissa!!!). These are from 11/23/2011.

And these are from the beginning of December. Uggg, they cut his hair again! I don't mind a little cut, but they go all out and practically shave his head. I won't be touching that hair for a while...

As you can see in this picture, it looks like he is trying to eat something in the book. I think our Liam is going to be full of personality!
