Viola's Birthday Party Preview

Viola's Birthday Party was great!!!

I made my own pinata, and i will post a tutorial in my next posts.

The main game was kids popping balloons and there was a note with what we are going to do next, a game, a song, or something else. I tryed to make a "V" in Russian, kinda looks like it.

I also made the birthday banner using DYE Cuts.

Also i made a wreath for the door...

And here's my little princess, she is 3!!! I made her boa skirt. 

We rented lights for the night. It was so much fun for the kids.... Viola's grandma made a Barbie cake for her.

One of the games that we played was finding the treasure, and the treasure was handmade crowns with everyone names on them that me and Viola made.

Enjoy,

(recipie) potatoe bites

Ingredients
15 small red skin potatoes or yellow potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher Salt

For the Filling:
1/4 cup of Sour Cream
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter; softened
½ teaspoon of kosher salt
3 slices of bacon; cooked until crisp and chopped
½ cup of any cheese

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Slice off a thin portion from the bottoms of the potatoes so they can sit upright without falling over.
3. Add potatoes to a gallon size bag and pour in your olive oil. Seal and coat all of the potatoes with the olive oil.
4. Remove potatoes from bag and place the potatoes upright on a foil-lined sheet pan; sprinkle with salt.
5. Bake the potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes or until tender.
6. When the potatoes have cooled enough to be handled, carefully scoop out most of the potato into a bowl. A serrated spoon works well for this process. Take care to leave enough potato in the skin so the shells stay together.
7. Mash the scooped potato lightly with fork, or run through a potato ricer.
8. Add the Breakstone’s Sour Cream, heavy cream, butter, and salt and combine until smooth.
9. Fold in chopped bacon and cheese into the potato mixture.
10. Evenly spoon or pipe the filling into the hollowed potatoes and return to the 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.9

Enjoy,
