Last weekend we celebrated Nana & Kaya's Birthdays. First with Kaya's birthday party on Saturday at her house where lots of kids ran around and got crazy! Tabasco was one of the highlights of the day. It was unfortunate that it was only 39 degrees outside and rainy! It's spring for crying out loud! Well, we did what we could and had a great time playing with all the kids and enjoying some lovely Mexican food that Steph and Nana made. Emaline even got to make cupcakes and decorate them the day before for the festivities. I can't believe Kaya is a year old already, how time flies. Emaline was very excited, she loves parties and even got a cool Backyardigan Look & Find book and heart sunglasses in her goodie bag! Here are some more pictures of the day:
The following day we celebrated Nana's birthday at Maggiano's in Brentwood. Of course it was very delicious and I enjoyed going out to a "real" restaurant for a change. Now that Piper is six weeks old, I have no qualms about taking her anywhere! We sat upstairs and had a little corner area all to ourselves and that was great with three kids! Emaline surprised us all and ate a giant plate of spaghetti and meatballs and only got a little sauce on her sleeve. She is getting better at eating and trying new things again. I think she might be hungry after refusing to eat anything of substance over the last six months :-) We all had very large portions and had to bring something home...I enjoyed my favorite, veal and mushroom ravioli and tried a bittersweet chocolate pudding pie that was WAY to rich for me. Other dishes we had around the table were Braised Beef Cannelloni, Gnocchi, more Spaghetti & Meatballs & Fettuccine Alfredo...mmmmm tasty!
