Belle and I have been busy today getting ready for Mother's Day weekend! As you can see we made a delightful dessert and wrapped a few presents. Baking with Belle is always "fun." It's nice to do something together but also very very messy. Though she's getting better at it. We bought these special sprinkles the other day at Belle's insistence. Then she proceeded to drown each cupcake in them. Thankfully most rolled off. Of course you never can have too many sprinkles though right? Right.
We just got back from meeting Katie downtown for dinner. We went to The Yard House at LA Live which is the new shopping/dining area around Staples Center. It is quite nice and would be tons of fun for a night out with a bunch of friends. We had a delightful meal coupled with tasty brew. There was a red carpet event at the Nokia Theater right outside of the restaurant so it truly felt like a night out in LA.
So, tomorrow we plan to spend the day hanging out together. The morning will start with scrumptious waffles, apple chicken sausage, and hot coffee. The afternoon will be consumed by tidepooling in Palos Verdes followed by a picnic on the beach. Finally, we'll wrap up the night by eating a nice dinner out or cooking in, not quite sure which yet. Either will be tasty. Sunday we head out to Riverside to see our respective Moms and BBQ it up with the family.
I have to say that sounds like a jam packed weekend of food and fun. It just started and I'm loving it already, but more importantly Katie loves it too! And now it's time to consume cupcakes and open more presents. Happy Mother's Day weekend!
