Chef Emma

Our budding chef, Emma, is enjoying her Paula Deen's My First Cookbook! Last week she cooked Porcupine Meatballs, and tonight, she treated us to Pigs in a Blanket. (Mama's side note: Hot Dogs, what a shocker--they are her absolute favorite food. She is only allowed to eat one at a meal and once she tricked the baby sitter into giving her four! I really expected sickness that night.) She really enjoys her night to cook. She even sets the table. Now if we could just figure out how to get her to wash all the dishes..... :)

All set and ready to cook!

On tonight's menu.....Pigs in a Blanket

Emma rolled up all of the hot dogs in crescent rolls.

Ready for the oven!

Cooking, cooking, cooking....

All done!

Now, that's a kid's favorite meal if I ever saw one (oops, add fries, subtract green beans and they'll be happy)!

Two happy kiddos!!

Ballet Class

Emma started taking a Princess Ballet class in September. She is really enjoying herself. The class will last all school year and she will have a recital in May. They do warm ups, dance some, have a princess story time, and then they put on tutus and dance more. One day they danced around the room pretending to clean like Cinderella. Sorry for the terrible pictures--the ones during class are through a one way mirror looking at Emma's reflection in another mirror.

All ready to go to class

That's my little ballerina!
