A First!

Nope, she didn't take her first step yet, BUT she did get her very own donut for the the first time!!  14 1/2 months old and Lily got to eat a donut just like her big brother and sister.  Did I want her to have a donut?  NO!!  But could I deny her this simple pleasure when she knows that she is missing out on things now??  NO!!  I watch Lily Billy watch Gavin and Em and she wants so badly to do everything that they do.  She wants to eat everything they eat too.  I can't believe she is already at this age, time moves so quickly, but here she is with her first donut.  You go girl!! 

Disclaimer: My kitchen table doesn't usually look like that!!  I was in the middle of a project.

Look at that sugar all over those hands!!

When she was done (which I think she really only ate a couple baby bites) she was so coated with sugar that I got a sugar high when I was giving her kisses.  Yuuummmyyy!!!

Sushi Anyone?

So, once upon a time the babes had a taste of a California Roll and they "loved" it.  On Saturday nights we traditionally have pizza for dinner and it just so happens there is a sushi place next door to the take out pizza place.  Gavin has it all figured out that we could get sushi AND pizza.  Well...I was reading my Family Fun magazine and saw a recipe for California Rolls.  So guess what we did??  We jumped on Amazon, ordered bamboo rolling mats, and went to the market to pick up supplies.  A couple days later here we are:

Watch out sushi chefs...we are your new competition.  Our rolls were super duper yummy!!!  I don't think we will buy CA rolls again!!  :)

(We changed the Family Fun recipe a bit and the rolling part was a little tricky, but we had so much fun!)
