Caramel Apples! ♥ & baby girls first sweets!

My poor baby girl has never had a single candy, no lollipops, notta. But me & the hubby decided she very much so deserved to try some caramel apple today--it was quite precious how excited she was, lol!

This. Is. Me. I look so thrilled, huh?! Lol. I almost cropped the camera out, but, I guess it looks more 'me' with the camera in my hand. :) Now, it is off to enjoy lunch with my family! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! ♥

Our Homemade Heart Shaped Pizzas! We made our pizza same as usual, but shaped them into adorable hearts to bake! & for a special touch...our local pizza place was kind enough to let me have a couple boxes so it looked cute & legit (after looking at me like a freak when I asked if I could buy some empty boxes, lol)! Then we went & grabbed a cute picnic tablecloth & we were good to go! ♥

Note: Our favorite dough & sauce recipes can be found over at Annie's Eats! I believe she adapted them from Cook's Illustrated...which always has amazing recipes! Find them HERE!

I told the girls...

that Daddy was coming home today. After squeezing and hugging me with her excitement, Ava insisted, we throw him a birthday party.

I said...okay. I mean, what else would we do?! Lol. Goofy girl. :)

So, here's my girlies, getting their table ready for what they called, Daddy's birthday party.
