It's All in the Kitchen!

I had quite a birthday fun-filled week! One of my dear friends celebrated her birthday a few days before me and I decided to utilize my cupcake cookbook and make her a real homemade cupcake. I also figured that being a mom, this is one thing you have to put on the resume. So here is the finished product, a delicious mocha cupcake. Buttercream frosting....yummy. (Hey sister-in-law remember our C^3 idea? hint-hint)

Oh back to the birthday week. A few days after one birthday bash, I celebrated mine with my hubby at the Wildwood Restaurant in Portland. Delicious! Thanks in part to E & W for the great location. Then dessert back with my in-laws who were babysitting Eli. (Thank you!) Then another 2 days passed and I was able to celebrate my mom's birthday and mine with family. Finally my mom and I had a great outing, just the two of us, to a Sunday Brunch at the Benson. Why do celebrations always include food?

One of Eli's favorite past times, refrigerator magnets. Grandmama and Grandpapa gave Eli alphabet magnets for Christmas, since he enjoyed playing with them at their house. Well recently he discovered a "J" and "T" magnet that his Aunt had made for us a few years back. We usually kept these up at the top of the fridge, but they have since become his favorite ones to take on and off. I think he enjoys the cats and music notes painted on them. He discovered the "D" and "R" that his Grandparents have as well.
