Kids Birthdays

This weekend marks Margaux's second birthday. I don't often "spoil" my kids, but I love to go a little overboard on their birthdays.

So, Margaux wanted an ice cream cake, so not only did I make the ice cream cake, I made the ice cream!

We are holding her party at home one more time, and again it is a soup party. I love soup parties. I make three or four batches of different soups, and last year I made four types of bread too (this year I'm making one type). Guests LOVE it.

Last year instead of party bags, I sent everyone home with enough soup and bread for a dinner at home some other night. I figured the parents deserved party bags sometimes too!

So, Black Bean, Pumpkin and Un-Chicken soup are on the menu this year, with store bought Sour dough and Corn bread (my Mom's Johnny cake recipe actually). Since we moved the party to a lunch party this should be just fine.

Now off to prepare my lecture for tomorrow!
