It's all about the presentation!

I just made fruit and cheese kabobs!  Though Em is still a little young to appreciate the effort, they are so cute!  It makes eating chunks of cheese, grapes and strawberry that much more fun. Add a BLT with avocado and some raspberry lemonade and I'm in heaven.

That sound delicious! Yumm.  one day she will enjoy fancy food like that, and won't want to eat it plain.

I know!  I'm excited!!!  I love making things out of food.  My mom used to make us butterflies out of grilled cheese all of the time.  She used a sweet pickle as the body and cut the grilled cheese diagonal for the wings.  It always seemed to taste better when she made it that way. In fact when she came to visit after Em was born she made ma  butterfly grilled cheese and it totally made my night.

This made me choke up.  Now I want a pickle...

I don't remember much from the first few days but I do remember my butterfly grilled cheese.

DH's mom still makes animal shaped pancakes or pancakes with your initial in them.  The little kids love it, and I'll admit it, the big kids love it too.

Although you can tell when she's had one too many drinks the night before breakfast.  Those are days that everyone gets to eat "balls and baloons"! No fancy animal pancakes while hungover.
