Birthday week

It was my birthday Feb. 11 and it was a great week of going out to eat with friends and family. I actually made it to my favorite restaurant, Pizzeria 712, for lunch and dinner but not on the same day and it was amazing as always. I didn't take many pictures from my birthday festivities, only Cohen but here are a few.

This was the best cake every! Yes, I made my own birthday cake but I wanted to try something new and I figured it best to ruin my own birthday cake. It's an ice cream cake plus I added pudding to the cake mix, applesauce instead of oil and I only used the egg whites. I didn't tell Steve what I did because he gets mad when I try to make foods healthy but it turns out gross but this actually worked and he liked it!

Cute little Milli and Cohen. Don't worry Milli has a diaper on.

A better picture of Jill's amazing creation and C's cute little teeth.

Happy Birthday AL!!! Looks like it was a good one! (PS- love that you titled the post "birthday week." I'm pretty sure that all birthday celebrations should last about a week!!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

That cakes look amazing! I'm sure I would love it! I like to try the healthy substitutions when I can too. Although the last batch of pumpkin cookies that I used applesauce to make tasted a little funny. At least I could eat more of them since they weren't TOO bad!
