Last night the family came over for dinner to celebrate my daughter Melissa's Birthday. We made it simple and casual - grilled and had cupcakes and cake. One of my granddaughters, Litzy, came over and made cupcakes with my daughter Kelsey. They baked Melissa's cupcake in a terra cotta pot - they put a bow around the pot and put a cute plastic wand with a glitzy star on the cupcake - (which caught on fire and melted on the cupcake) it was really cute. When I purchased the pack of star wands the cashier said, "Oh a princess party. "  I said, " Yea, the princess is turning 32."  Crazy how quickly the years go by.                                                                                                         ...

Birthday Boy It was Andrew's 5th Birthday yesterday! Family After breakfast we all met on the beach to celebrate Andrew's 5th Birthday(grandson) with homemade cupcakes, paddle ball, and once again lots of playing on the beach. And as usual the day ended with me dragging Makenna off the beach with her screaming. I don't think kids ever get tired of the water and the sun, but I'm already thinking of a vacation from the vacation - I'm exhausted!  No beach tomorrow  - I'm off to the Ricki Lake Show! Love your Tuesday!!!

As you all know I didn't realize Easter came early this year so I'm not prepared for the day. I thought I'd share some fun ideas and recipes that I came across. http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/deviled-easter-eggs/ http://blog.williams-sonoma.com/easter-cakes-easter-egg-nest-cupcakes/ http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Bunny-Biscuits http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Easter-Bunny-Bread http://www.foodbuzz.com/blogs/5361589-hatching-chick-cupcakes Easter is a time to rejoice, be thankful, be assured that all is forgiven so life extends beyond the soil of earth. -Byron Pulsifer Happy Easter!
