and time for my
Friday Favorites!
Last Saturday the family gathered to celebrate my favorite two year old
Favorite # ONE
Rory
As I mentioned last week, she was born on Valentine’s Day.
Rory loves “Toy Stoy”
and as soon as she laid eyes on her birthday cupcakes she exclaimed
“FORKY!”
Favorite # TWO
Forky Cupcakes
When Emily sent this photo from Pinterest with a request to make Rory’s birthday cake/cupcakes a few weeks ago, I knew I would HAVE TO TRY to recreate this presentation.
Emily suggested chocolate would be best. I used a chocolate cake mix (from a box) and homemade vanilla buttercream frosting.
Each Forky was lovingly brought to life by Glammy herself. 
Not bad for an amateur. 
Rory picked out her birthday presents about a month ago while she and Glammy surfed Amazon.
Favorite # THREE
Shopping with Rory
This is what she wanted. This is what she got.

Three weeks ago, the six members of my team learned that there will be changes coming to our team. Two members of our group would be leaving to take new positions. Today would be our last day as a group of six. With that, we began planning a potluck because that is what we do. I can’t even explain it.
In this case it wasn’t a celebration potluck, but deliberate, indulgent, group stress eating.
The potluck has happened. Today we enjoyed chicken wings, deviled eggs, tea sandwiches (ham/Swiss and chicken salad), a veggie tray, cookies and a new recipe
Favorite # FOUR
Cream Cheese Tuna Dip
That I found here.
Interestingly enough, it is very tasty and pairs nicely with Wheat Thins.
Everyone on my team loved it!
YaY!
