Card making gone wild!

Soooo.....

Getting my love's first care package together is becoming a bit emotional. I didn't think that it would be this way but I hate that he cant be home for Father's Day. So I decided to make this day as special as it can be for him.

I am not the craftiest momma around, but I let the babies go wild as they made their own special Father's Day cards. It is amazing how different my babies are. Ty's card was neat and precise and Emma just went crazy! It totally fits their personality and I am sure Anthony will see that as well.

I decided to make him some yummy dessert! So I picked out German chocolate snack cakes. I have never made these before but I have a feeling Anthony will love them. Since the food on the ship isn't the greatest, I thought that making him something delicious would put a smile on his face.

Here is the recipe if anyone would like to try them. They are super easy!

Ingredients:
1/2 chopped pecans
1 package of German chocolate cake mix
4 large eggs, divided
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 (16-oz) package powdered sugar
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened

Directions:
1. preheat oven to 350. Arrange chopped pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan.
2. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until toasted and fragrant.
3. Reduce oven temperature to 300.
4. Stir together the cake mix, 1 egg, butter, and toasted pecans; press mixture into bottom of lightly greased 13-x-9-inch pan.
5. Beat sugar, cream cheese, and remaining three eggs at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
6. Pour powdered sugar mixture over batter in pan and spread to the edges.
7. Bake at 300 for an hour. Let cool 1 hour or until completely cool.
8. Cut cake into 2 1/2 to 3-inch squares.

And that's it! Hope you all enjoy! God Bless!
