The Party

I used to throw big parties all the time B.K. (Before Kalea). I've sorta slowed down a bit since her arrival, so I decided to change all of that. This past weekend, we invited 20 people over for a dessert and coffee nite. Not everyone could make it...but we had a great turn out anyway! So I'm pretty sure I'm a mennonite....because only a mennonite would take a picture of her food...at every single party! The photo is a little out of focus...but it is my chocolate framboise that I wanted to 'show off'. It's a recipe that I got off the food network from French Food at Home...I love that show! Anyway, I started making this crazy thing around 2 the day my guests were arriving only to discover that it was supposed to chill over nite...oops! I always forget to read the entire recipe before I start making it. It was a little jiggly, but still held it's shape most of the nite!

The other photo is of Kalea (born Dec. 7), Ella (born Dec. 24), and Magda (born Feb. 14). It was pretty funny to watch them play together. However, I think Kalea is the bully of the bunch...she kept grabbing the soothers out of the other girls mouths and any time one would start playing with a toy Kalea would grab it. When I looked over at her she had 3 soothers and a mountain of toys around her. The other girls were just staring at her. Maybe because the party was at Kalea's house they were being polite and not making a fuss over their 'bully host'. All I could think was " oh great...my kid is 'THAT' kid". The parenting soon begins I suppose!
