~ post thanksgiving treat...

...freshly baked cupcake topped with homemade buttercream icing and a cup of cinnamon coffee :-)

~ afternoon treat...

I cannot share the cupcake/icing recipe with you -- Sofia asked me to keep her Christmas recipes secret while she is testing them.

I can tell you that the cupcake and icing are delicious!  Oh, and that cinnamon coffee is perfect!

~ the final count...

...we had 160 trick or treaters!  This breaks last year's record of 150.  All of them wore costumes.  Maybe the rules set by the old one-eyed crow kept the non-costumed folks away...

 Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
