Pie in a Jar!

I counted down the days, seriously...this is THE Girls' Night Out I was really looking forward to...a LOT. And finally, it arrived (almost 2 weeks ago now...again, the delay is inexcusable but at least I am here now.)

We had our youngest attendees peeling, coring and chopping, then we mixed up our filling and set to work on our crusts...look at all of that. Isn't it lovely?
Mmmm...apple pie...
With a lid!
All set to go in the freezer...
Ours are still in the freezer which is making the Creative Princess crazy...she wants to share hers with the 5 of us asap but Mr. CB isn't home for dinner 5 nights of the week and weekends get pretty crazy...especially in December! I am aiming for this Sunday. It's movie night afterall...pie seems like a great finish, don't you think?

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Mr. CB!

This post is also late...I have some serious catching up to do! You see Mr. CB's birthday is one month before Christmas. Exactly ONE month. So, you do the math.  I am late, again!

The highlight of his gift...my cousin went out with us and took photos of the kids...we framed these 3 for him to enjoy. Pretty sweet eh?

Next? I told him a colleague ordered a cake from me, showed it off to him throughout the entire process and guess what? He brought his own birthday cake to work and didn't know it...
 So he enjoyed a vanilla cake with vanilla filling with his colleagues...
 Then, after we madly rushed to the mall and printed the photos and got them into the frame I bought, we picked him up from work, went out for supper and enjoyed this cake...
I apologize for the crumby photos, I forgot to take some before we left the house and restaurant photos just never seem to work. Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Filling all covered in Chocolate Ganache. Rich goodness. Yum!

The last bit of his birthday? The Money Pit. Yep, I got him the movie hoping he would share a laugh with me as we often refer to our own home as The Money Pit. We watched it together and we laughed.

Enjoy!

Mo-Vember!

I know I am a little late with this but things have been CRAZY over here!  We got into the spirit of Movember this year with chocolate Mo-Staches! Everyone loved them!

Here is the Creative Princess with her favourite teacher!
 Our little guy with his favourite Jacob Beam staff!
 And our favourite local league hockey team all decked out!
Movember makes me happy...it's pretty awesome to see the guys out there raising awareness and raising money for something that is important to their health.

Enjoy!
