Weekend Snippets~well.. Saturday:)

This weekend we celebrated our youngest daughter's birthday~ 36!

Un amour d'enfant..petite ainsi  que maintenant grande~et maman de 3 des "Alphabet Boys"..

Pinterest played a part in her birthday:)

I had loved the gifts I found on Pinterest..on my Wrapping Board:).. how they added black and white photos to the gift wrapping~

I scanned an old  color photo  of when she was perhaps 3..with long blonde curls pinned up..her bathing suit and water wings~

I loved her little face..I still do:)

The whole family got together at our other lovely  daughter's home..in her sweet sweet turquoise kitchen..for a family meal..

6 kids..6 adults..

A delicious meal of Ricardo's pork w/ beet sauce:)..all the Tostitoes I could eat before hand..veggies ..dip..a very "F" hd..delish..carrots potatoes..superb soup..leek with crisp pancetta topping:-) ..

I offered to bring dessert.

I don't love eating them but love making them~

Again I found many of this very same cake on Pinterest so I won't quote one source.

You simply bake..a 2 layer chocolate cake.. ice..surround with KitKats..individually and top with Smarties..I added a personalized circle of fondant on top w/ fondant candle holders..to place the candles..and to lessen the amount of Smarties~

Pedestaled and wrapped with a bow..it's a fun and easy birthday cake:)

And the kids were so excited:)

A cake mix can work fine for this kind of cake..

It was a lovely Saturday spent with all my favorite people in the whole wide world~

PS~

Did you spy one of my market bags?

If you did you must have spied those absolutely precious crocheted radishes and string beans?

Creative,thoughtful,perfectly stitched..they are my favorite addition to my market bag.This is THE market bag now~:)

No.... I didn't make them.... I wish!..A dear dear girl did:)
