Grace's 1st Birthday

Today was Grace's 1st Birthday party. Toby and Natalie really enjoyed the playground and wished that they could have a park birthday. 2 winter birthdays mean no park parties....but maybe Chuck E Cheese.

(Note: Janette's baby Grace is not to be confused with Angela's baby Graclyn.)

How to make 18 lasagnas...

I recently joined a cooking group with Michelle. Each member prepares 18 meals to freeze and exchange with 8 other members once a month (keeping 2 of your own), so that we each have 9 different freezer meals for the month. It took just over 5 hours (and 108 noodles, 27 eggs and just over 100 cups of various cheeses) to prepare and assemble 18 lasagnas, with Tim's help.
