Today we celebrated Daddy’s 34th birthday by baking daddy his favorite dessert: key lime pie. YUMMY! Ellie was a great helper. She handed me all of the key limes and helped me squeeze the lime juice. She also helped with the measuring cups and did manage to spill some on the floor but that’s what baking is all about. Who can really bake without making a little bit of a mess? We had so much fun. Her favorite was licking the batter off of the mixing beaters. She was a little apprehensive about trying the creamy key lime mix at first but after a small taste she was hooked. Do you blame her?
It was so much fun to bake with my little girl. When we were baking and chatting I was thinking about when she was a baby and I wondered how it would be when we could do these types of activities together. Wow, it is everything I thought it would be and more. She is already such a great helper and loves standing on the stool step to help with everything.
After dinner, we opened daddy’s small birthday gift and sang “Happy Birthday to Daddy” and ate some delicious key lime pie that mommy and Ellie baked for Daddy. Although we did not have an elaborate birthday celebration for Chris, it was very special because his little girl baked her very first delicious pie for his birthday.
XOXO
