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!!

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
