Another snowstorm is coming for us tomorrow. The weatherpeople are calling for 12-18 inches more. We already have plenty, thank you. The girls are outside now enjoying the 3 feet of white stuff in our front yard while Daddy snowblows (yes, we got about 4 inches today). Mira wanted me to come to her ice museum, but I had to take a raincheck since I was in my slippers.

In other news, Abby turned four last week!

On her birthday on Thursday, we had a little ice cream cake as a warm up for the bigger extended family birthday party on Saturday.

The birthday cake this year was what is known as the Elvis Cake around the internet. Banana cake layers spread with chocolate ganache and filled and iced with fluffy peanut butter frosting. The flavor combination was really different in a good way. The peanut butter frosting was a standout. (You can make it  by creaming together 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup cream cheese, 1 cup peanut butter and about 3 cups powdered sugar. Then you beat in about 1/4 cup of heavy cream and whip until you get a fluffy spreadable consistency.) It would be really good on a chocolate cake.
