The Birthday Extravaganza Begins!

Grandpa Fred and Granny Sue took all of us to the Pirate Dinner Adventure to celebrate Kalani's 3rd birthday. It was fabulous! Kalani enjoyed it about 100% more than I even expected him too. So of course, we all loved it too :) The dinner itself was (as expected) pretty awful, the dessert was pretty darn good, the free drinks were great and the entertainment was really really good. The performers were actually really great and very talented! There was a good amount of acrobatic type stunts and the acting was much better than I had expected. Kalani's eyes did not move from the entertainment for a single minute and he happily sat in his seat for the full two hours. If you know Kalani at all, that is saying a LOT!

Dessert! He had this expression on his face the entire time

Leaving the adventure, all decked out :)


**I have a funny video of Kalani too, but I have never been able to upload videos onto here. I just get the box with a red x in it?? I'll keep trying though

Sticky Buns

I was so excited to make these and then SO proud of myself for pulling it off! They were DELICIOUS!!! I have made plenty of loaves of yeast bread, but had never made a yeast dough for pastry's or sweets, like this one, so it was extra fun and exciting to do. Kalani helped with every single step, including eating them :)
The recipe made a ton so we have two pans, ready to go, in the freezer too.




I could sure use some tips on how to photograph food though. My camera would not focus correctly on the buns, and neither the flash or non-flash picture really shows how beautiful these were.
