Ezra's Birthday

-
Ezra turned 4 on the 16th and I believe he had a great day. For his birthday breakfast he chose yogurt, and for dinner we dined on corn dogs and potato salad. He had been waiting weeks to watch a special movie, Return of the Jedi, so he was super excited for that!
It was all about Star Wars this year, so I made him a light saber cake. I just made a homemade angel food cooked in a jelly roll pan, then filled it with a banana cream pudding/cool whip mixture. The handle was made from a rice krispie treat recipe. He used about twenty tiny blows to blow out his candles.
Grandpa and Grandma Jensen and the Lawrence family came over to share cake and ice cream and watch Ezra open his presents. The first one he got was a sucker from his cousin Ethan and he sucked on it while he opened the rest. He got a couple of cool belts, several Star Wars action figures, bubbles, a puzzle, a box of fruit (he is obsessed with fruit) and a big boy bike. He loved all of his presents and especially enjoyed all the attention.
Happy Birthday Ezra! We love you!

Happy Birthday Ezra! Sounds like a lucky kid! That creative cake sounds/looks delicious! I think it's just hilarious that he loves star wars, and was happy as can be about a box of fruit! Great pictures!

Sweet and Sour Chicken

I don't make this one all the time, but it is a true favorite of everyone here and my mom got rave reviews this Christmas when she took it to a dinner at the Boise ID Temple, where my dad works. We make it for special occasions. Sweet & Sour Chicken The following sauce will cover enough chicken to fill a 9 x 13" baking dish. You may choose whichever chicken type your family enjoys. Growing up, we used bone-in chicken pieces, but these days I like to take boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut them into strips. Sprinkle pieces of chicken with salt and pepper. Roll pieces in corn startch and then into beaten egg. Fry till golden brown, using high heat. (my Mom fries in oil, I just spray the fry pan) Put pieces of chicken into baking dish.

Zac as an usher at Stake Conference. Hanna accompanied a quartet at our stake Christmas program. She and I also sang in the choir. Zane, Zac and I helped sod 6 houses. It was cold, muddy, and SO fun! Zane drove us home- he's a pretty good driver! Ezra had pack meeting at the Glanbia Cheese Research Lab Joz and Braxton Dille after Literacy Night. Hanna was in the play Fairy Tale High.  She played the part of Goldilocks... ... and a girl in detention. She did awesome! Fun visit from the Halls, where the kids showed off cool moves... You can see Zane in the background being Faith's loyal servant.
