have you been to ikea lately...

they got new "play food".. of course i ended buying them..

fruit basket..

sandwich/breakfast..

birthday cake !! ice cream/cookies *pic not listed*

only thing missing is the "veggie" basket which they didn't have at ikea when i was there.

cute isn't it ?? my girls loved it more than the play food we already have in their kitchen. they really love signing happy birthday cuz of the cake ;) 

happy 2nd birthday to my nephew...

this is what i made for his birthday.. i'm happy with how it turned out.. got this idea from this gal. 

i am in LOVE with my blendtec. it is AMAZING how it can blend. i was making 7 layered dip for zade's birthday.. i dreaded at the thought of mashing avocado.. i am terrible at it.. then i looked over at my kitchen counter and saw my blender.. and i decided to try it.. i pushed my "sauces, dips, dressings, batters" button.. and voila ! it came out as a perfect dip !! this was the BEST 7 layered dip i ever made !! thank you, blendtec !!

is my E going to be a future photographer ????!!! ;)
