Thank you Bakerella!
(Just a tip...I lined the pan with parchment paper to make
the extraction of these delights easier.)

January?

Seems impossible that it's January with the type of weather we are experiencing. I realize I should just keep quiet for those who are dealing with quite the opposite. Sorry!

 The 3 Musketeers

 Happy ducks

Birthday Fit for a Princess

Sophia helped her friend, Amelyse, celebrate her 3rd birthday...Princess style. 

 Princess Amelyse

A little game of "Princess Says"

Princess says touch your ears

 Working diligently on beading

Princess Riley

 Beautiful day for a party!

Happy Birthday Amelyse!

And then the dresses got hiked up for a little zip line fun! 

Way to go Sophia!

What a Life

Happy Birthday Marcy & Pernille

It took some schedule coordination, but we finally had an evening out to celebrate Marcy & Pernille's birthday. And if you haven't dined at Cafe Luck, it is a MUST!

 Always a good way to start girl's night

 Pernille & Jen

 Yummy starter!

 Delish!

 Mac n' Cheese with Truffled Ham = OMG!

The waiter took this pic, but didn't quite get everyone.

 Note to self: Don't bring fancy camera/lens; 

not everyone knows how to use it! 

 Not sure why the waiter snapped this shot.

 Thank goodness for Melike's camera.

Happy Birthday Marcy & Pernille!

Happy 1st Graham!

I'm a little late in blogging this event, which happened last Sunday, but given the kind of week I had I think little Graham would forgive me. : )

Birthday boy, Graham

Kenzie & Kalista

I love stairs!

Love climbing down the most!

Looks like Penelope wants Kalista's hat.

Mommy! Don't let her take it! : )

Talina & Laurel

A swinging ball?!
