This past Sunday we celebrated Sofia and Emma’s first birthday. It was a lovely day spent with friends and family. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate as we had hoped. It was cloudy, windy and cold, but we managed to spend 80% of the time in our backyard.
yummy homemade snacks
I made homemade diamond cheese crackers as a substitute to Gold Fish Crackers. I prefer them not double baked.
fruit salad
smarties
The Zucchini Bread featured behind the smarties turned out to be moist and uber delicious. You should try it (note: I omitted the nuts)
ZUCCHINI BREAD 350F
Combine
3 eggs
2 1/2cups sugar
3 tsp vanilla
1 cup oil
Sift together
3 cups flour
1/4tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsp cinnamon
1/2tsp nutmeg
Add dry ingredients to the wet ones.
Add 1/2cup chopped walnuts
2 cups grated zucchini
Pour into 2 greased loaf pans
Cook 1 hour.
Freezes well.
- cold drinks for the adults
- personalized loot bags
- pretty balloons
- friends in backyard
- water table-Yay twins!
- amazing birthday cake
- a closer look
- closer look 2
- closer look 3
- closer 4
- time to blow out the candles
It was no surprise that Emma and Sofia loved their sugary treat. They wanted to eat the carrot cake by the fist full.
I had hoped to have better pictures of the two of them but these are all I managed to take. Enjoy.
