POD-133: The party

There was nothing we needed more this weekend than a fun party with friends. We have been so thankful for the people here who have made this move easier for us and we couldn't have been happier than to have them here for a little bbq and cake. Morgan was so excited to have a birthday party and have friends over to share it with. Now she's officially three.

Morgan's Belgian grandparents. We were so happy to have our lovely neighbors come over for Morgan's party. They have been so nice to us from the very beginning and Morgan just loves them.


Scott gets credit for the pic, but since I made the cake I'm entitling myself to post it on my blog. Not bad for my second "fancy" cake.

POD-132: Making the Cake

I asked Morgan if she wanted to help me make her cake or if she wanted it to be a surprise. No big surprise what she chose.

POD-131: My birthday beauty

Its hard to believe my little baby is 3.


The birthday crown she got at school and has been wanting to wear everyday since.

POD-116: Biscotti

The tradition of bringing your own birthday treat in Belgium is kind of fun. I get to make my favorite treat that Scott can't eat without feeling (too) guilty. This is by far the best biscotti recipe I've had even though I've never gotten past this one so you'll just have to trust me. Yum.

POD-109: Happy birthday to me

Our last day of the trip was spent on the boat heading back to Italy. It wasn't a terribly warm day and was incredibly windy. Morgan had a blast with the 70mph gusts of wind in this little spot of the boat.






Greasy fingers and cookie all over my glasses. Ah well.
