Celebrating "13"

Sam and 2 of her dearest friends...
her other dearest friend...Brooke was pulled away on a family emergency... and was missed terribly.




opening presents...
the 22nd was actually Natalia's birthday... Lindsey brings in the new year...
so we celebrated ALL 3 of the girls bday's :)


making breakfast smoothies :)
YUMMY



if I could vote for the best girls ever...
these would be 3 of them...

their idea of a wonderful birthday was baking and cooking... so that is what we did!

banana cupcakes...
and don't ask me how but I didn't get a photo of the WONDERFUL Jasmine (my friend) from StarFlour Baking... made a guest appearance and taught these precious girls how to make premium cupcakes... even bringing boxes and everything! This photo was before she "fixed" them... they were stuffed with banana whip and topped with a cream cheese goodness!

they also made this goodness from one of my personal favs...


rolling out the best cinnamon rolls ever...

and of course Jack watching all the chaos wishing that he was older and could join in!

we also made no bake cookies...


then came one of the favorites...

fruit pizza...


pure deliciousness



This is how I spent Saturday evening... and Sunday morning...
it was wonderfully fun... and especially tiring.

p.s. Tina HURRY UP and get over here and help me get the settings right on my camera... getting frustrated that I can't get good photos... help!
