i just love parties.

a little recap of the festivities:

so we started the day with the big bday 

video, followed by french toast and 

present opening.

we spent the afternoon decorating for the 

little soiree the next day on our front porch, 

where ruby refused to nap and thus

fell asleep on the glider out front.

we had some fancy pink cake that evening,

picnic-ing in the back yard.

one. two. three.

and the following morn

we awoke to a little bday breakfast

with some fancy princesses.

menu:

{for kids}

waffles.whip cream and berries.

{for big kids}

eggs en cocotte and bacon.

coffee and juice.

all in all it was much fun.

will admit i was pretty tired in the end.

turning 3 is so darn cute though.

my egg recipe for anyone interested:

preheat oven to 375.

heat water in tea kettle.

fill ramekins with about 2 T. heavy cream.

crack two eggs in each ramekin.

sprinkle with salt and pepper.

sprinkle with finely chopped fresh chives.

top with hefty handful of grated greuyere cheese.
place on sheet pan and pour hot water onto
half way up sides of ramekins.
bake about 45 min's. depending on how
well cooked you want them.
enjoy!
