This Saturday Nick, Alexa and I took a trip to the local bookstore to see Strawberry Shortcake. When she walked in we all had to giggle a little, because her head did not fit well through the doorway. Alexa was very excited and liked listening to the stories that were being read. After they finished reading the books, each child got their picture with Strawberry Shortcake. Alexa gave her a big hug and ran down the stairs to tell me she really smelled like Strawberries.
Strawberry Shortcake did not do much besides stand on the stage and move her head, but the kids were going crazy for her.
Alexa was all smiles when her turn came. She tried her very best to play it cool, but I could see that she was a little nervous.
She gave Strawberry a hug, a very very quick hug. The picture looks like a much longer embrace, in reality she wanted it over asap!
My mom made me the cutest apron for mother's day, and I have been looking for a free weekend to break it in. Alexa and I spent a lot of time in the kitchen baking and making pizzas. She is starting to love to bake just about as much as me. We have been working on reading recipes and she is doing an amazing job. When I see her reading the ingredients to me, it just reminds me how grown up she is getting.
One of the Strawberry Shortcake books talk about crepes, so of course we had to make some. We made dessert crepes filled with vanilla ice-cream and topped with fresh raspberries. They were pretty tasty!
These are the cookies Alexa made almost completely by herself. We each made a batch of cookies, peanut butter for her and cream cheese sugar cookies for me. She read the ingredients, figured out the measurements, added and mixed everything on her own. She was also quick to point out that the cookies she made were just a little better than mine and they were:)
Thanks to Fresh and Easy, we were able to make homemade pizzas. They are so fun to make and Alexa goes crazy with the toppings. She is a veggie loving girl! All in all it was a pretty great weekend.
