Friday was Ba's birthday (#64!), so Saturday we had Ba and Nana over for a birthday dinner celebration. On the menu: (I'm including links to the recipes because they are all that good)
Butternut Squash and Cauliflower Soup - Delish! Broth based, but rich, creamy and perfect for Fall

Apple, Pear and Fennel Salad - YUM!!! First time trying this one, and highly recommend - makes a great palette cleanser before a main course
DJ's Perfect Bolognese - always a winner
Tender-crisp French Green Beans and Broccolini Sauteed with Shallots - no recipe
Chocolate Pot de Creme w/White Chocolate Whipped Cream - All I have to say is....sinful
Before our dinner and their down time watching a movie, the girls decided to put on a little show. These two are turning into such hams and are hilarious to watch. They made the night complete with their renditions of "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast, and "You Can Fly" and "Following the Leader" from Peter Pan. Most of the video clips were taken when Ba and Nana weren't there, which tells you that we do a lot of "performing" on a regular basis! Those particular songs are on a constant rotation in our house.

As much as we love our munchkins, DJ and I are counting down the days until our weekend getaway to San Francisco! We can't wait to catch up with friends, enjoy great food and relish in exploring one of the best cities on the planet! Oh, and getting to sleep past 5:30am will be pretty awesome too. We're also looking forward to taking a flight without kiddo's, and perhaps having a cocktail (or two). It's funny how the little THINGS take on new meaning when you have little ONES.
Getting revved up
