Ingredients:

2 cans of Crescent Rolls
1 container of Cream Cheese

All you do is brown the sausage, drain and mix it into softened cream cheese.  Next, fill up the crescent rolls with the mixture and roll them up, bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.  Enjoy!!

Lemonade Birthday Party

Finally!!!  They came today to fix my Internet!! Whoo hoo!!  They had to replace the antennae. 

I have been wanting to share my little one's birthday party.  I asked her several times what kind of party she wanted to have.  One time she would say a cupcake party, one time she would say a lemonade stand party and then she started saying a tea party.  Each time it would be a different response.  So I just decided to incorporate all three!


I went with a vintage look, using my old dresser from when I was a little girl.  I also used a vintage box, painted it white, and put 8 mason jars filled with water and yellow daisies for a centerpiece.  I had pink lemonade and lemonade flavored gumballs and suckers for the kids.


I also made a fabric bunting from the old nightgown I used from the Old Nightgown Upcycle frame I made for the girl's room. 



We had regular and raspberry lemonade.



We made her a table with a four piece vintage tea set for her to enjoy tea with her sisters. Big brother took the great pics.


We put cans of Minute Maid Lemonade on ice in an old wash tub.


I made the two ingredient lemon bar recipe I found on Pinterest and left the powdered sugar out for each person to sprinkle it on their lemon bar.  I found that it just soaks in if you sprinkle it on too early.

 To incorporate the cupcake party, (She went to a cupcake party where everyone decorated their own cupcake.)  I made pink lemonade cupcakes.  I put out containers of white, yellow and pink squirt icing  and all kinds of different pink, yellow and white sprinkles for the kids to decorate their own cupcakes.




We had a great party!! Hope you enjoy:)

Due to the recent severe storms in our area, I have been without internet for over a week now!! Yes, it is driving me craaaazy!  They are going to check it out on Tuesday.  I am hoping to have it fixed by next week.  I came by my mother-in-law's house to let everyone know what is going on.  So, I am sorry if I haven't been able to check or respond to my e-mails.  Have a great week:)
