We had a wonderful and great time and it was nice to spend the time with other parents of little ones. Besides Phoenix, Sienna had Nico, Sylvie, Nico O and Ethan to play with as well! Fun times! The food was great, the company even better! I made <a href=\"http:\/\/cupcakeblog.com\/?p=10\" target=\"_blank\">Devil&#8217;s Food Cupcakes<\/a> with this <a href=\"http:\/\/justjennrecipes.com\/chocolate-sour-cream-frosting\/2008\/06\/01\/\" target=\"_blank\">chocolate frosting<\/a>. I had a bit of a mishap (I overfilled the cupcake and they baked up huge and ran into each other over the rim and got stuck) but luckily this recipe made 24 (although I think I got more like 36!) And I also baked some of Yves&#8217; favorite cookies to bring over and some pasta salad. Even getting bit by mosquitos didn&#8217;t squash my fun! \ud83d\ude09<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/01siennachipfb.jpg\" alt=\"01siennachipfb.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nSienna with a chip<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/02yanlingsylviefb.jpg\" alt=\"02yanlingsylviefb.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nYan Ling holding Sylvie wearing an old outfit of Sienna&#8217;s, which I think was a hand me down as well!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/03kidstablefb.jpg\" alt=\"03kidstablefb.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nSienna with Phoenix and Nico at the kids table!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/05watermelonfb.jpg\" alt=\"05watermelonfb.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nWatermelon!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/07slawdogfb.jpg\" alt=\"07slawdogfb.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nStarr made this awesome cole slaw and told me to put it on a hot dog for a slaw dog, a Southern thing.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/10kidsplayfb.jpg\" alt=\"10kidsplayfb.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe kids playing!<\/p>\n<p>And here is my baking mishap!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/chococpblog.jpg\" alt=\"chococpblog.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThey may not look so bad here&#8230;.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/chococp2blog.jpg\" alt=\"chococp2blog.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe outer edges of the cupcake that were touching the pan were stuck and I thought I was being clever by just flipping it over.
