A Sweet Ice Skating Birthday Party

This past Saturday, we headed up to Rolling Hills for a very sweet birthday party for our cousin Liesl's 9th birthday. We had dinner at Ruby's and then headed to the ice skating rink. The girls had so much fun ice skating... I even got skates on too. Check out the smile on all the kids. They all had a blast!

Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week took place at school a few weeks ago. The school had a poster contest during that week and Peyton won! Check out her poster below.

Pasta Party ~ Gnocchi Style

Saturday night, our family came together for a pasta party at my parent's house. In the past, we made ravioli. Check out photos here and here. This time around, we made gnocchi. My dad's cousin Karen and his cousin's wife Fran came in town from Northern California. We also met my second cousin Shannon and her family who came in from Texas. My sister Karen came down from Oregon with a friend as well.

As you can see by the photos, we made a whole lot of gnocchi! We made three sauces to go with the gnocchi, butter and sage, Gorgonzola and a marinara sauce. My favorite was the Gorgonzola.

We had such an amazing evening with friends and family!

Melting Pot

Friday night, Grammie took the family to Melting Pot for Peyton's birthday. This was the girls first time eating at Melting Pot and they both had a lot of fun. As you can see, their favorite part was dessert!
