first date...
our little girl all ready for her first movie date!! aaaaaawwwwww what a milestone! :) haha. here is the sweetie pie and her aunti K ready for a day at the theatre! What was the show? CHAROLOTTE'S WEB! :) a favorite playtime-pretending story of Julia's for the past few months now, since it involves farms, "county fairs" and oversensitive animals. haha. They had a splendid time eating popcorn and watching the movie together.

And when the movie was done, they came home to a dinner party for Uncle Ad. It was a relaxed party in which i didn't have to cook! (love those every once and a while eh? no matter how much cooking one enjoys, it is always nice to not cook occassionally) Pizza and salad and veggies and laughs and scrabble and craziness.
i did make one thing. Salmon stuffed tomatoes. not as good as i hoped, but i suppose that may have just been my preggy belly telling me it was toooooooooo tomatoe-y tasting. (Julia got a salmon stuffed BOAT instead of just a plain ol' tomatoe! :) heehee)
And cake. i made a little cake for all to enjoy....you can't have a goodbye party without a cake! haha Julia helped me whip this one up and i was pleasantly surprized. Starlight Yellow Cake, delicious! Mama Naus put icing tips in my stocking this year (great gift!) so that i could learn a new art form, and this cake was the first attempt. nothing too artistic going on...just a plain style, but LOOK AT THE COLORS! hahah. i love it.
Chillin'. Goodbye Ad, have a great year at school!!!!!!! When you get home i will no longer be two, but one, and the one that is departing will be like....three months old already!!!! wow.

That was our day. and night. and now i need to rest. oh yeah...Dave and I won at scrabble. teeeheee. WE WON!!

Looks like so much fun! I love your culinary creativity! And the colors on the cake are fabulous! How did you get them so bright? Secrets please!
And a movie date how lovely.
Thank goodness for aunties huh?

wonderful colours! I love all the great work you do on your cakes!!!!
Glad to see Jules got a movie date, Taylor has not seen that one yet. I am sure that kept everyone busy!

Love the movie date idea. Love the jeans. Love the cake. Oh, love love love...
I love your cake, and I too want to know how you got the icing colours so bright. Whenever I make icing the colours are very washed out. Do tell!
We went to see Charlotte's Web on boxing day - awesome show! Julia is very blessed to have an Auntie who takes her on dates.
Take Care
hi all, haha, i wish i had a secret to tell about the icing, but really...i don't know!! i just never follow recipes very well, and they end up working...and sometimes being extra special ... like the colors. perhaps it is the brand?? i think it is Club House brand food coloring. yes, it is.
:)
love from sue
