The love of My Life: My Granddaughter, Alyssa.




The story of my life is predicable. Once again, I spent weeks pouring over ideas as to how I was going to make 'thee' cutest Easter cupcakes -of all- for Alyssa’s class.  You see, before I lived in Miami and now I live in Ocala.  I am happily now able to spend a lot more time with Alyssa, my fabulous Grand daughter, baking and playing Grandma .

 I dedicated a good part of four days in the making of these cutest little cupcakes. When it was all done Alyssa exclaimed, “Lela Nancy! You went overboard on these.” She made me smile from bunny ear to bunny ear.
 
 

My heart felt pinched and I gloated,  “Alyssa, these are so darn cute; your classmates are going to be jealous that you have a Grandma like me! And, should someone want me for their Grandma, you let me know!” We naturally laughed.
 
I was scheduled to deliver the gifting goodies, cupcakes and Alyssa to class in the morning. Her words lingered like a happy beat,  "I went overboard.”  As planned, Alyssa and I stopped at the school office to drop off the Chick cake pops and cookie Basket. The crowd expressed their appreciation as to how beautiful these were.  I looked at Alyssa’s face as she was smiling and head held high we proceeded to her classroom.  A little guy comes up and looks in Alyssa’s box and says, “Where’s mine? Don’t I get one?” I was flattered at his enthusiasm.  Soon to follow, the teachers also approached us and expressed the same “cuteness.” As we walked away I could see Alyssa’s smile grow bigger.

We put everything down in class and her teacher Ms. Patterson gave me a warm hug.

Alyssa by now is fully beaming and I added, " Oh, and I'm bringing more cupcakes for Alyssa’s Birthday on Monday;  wait until you see those.  I just had to lay the groundwork to go overboard again; I chuckled with a sense of pride.

When I arrived home, I found a message from the school office staff requesting an order of bunny cupcakes.   Happy Easter Baking for me! Yeay!

I guess I may have gone a little overboard, but there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for Alyssa. Everything is made with LOVE!
