My beautiful daughter Liberty turned 2 this month (hard to believe my baby is no longer a baby!) so this past Saturday we celebrated her birthday with a Sesame Street themed party. She enjoyed a homemade carrot cake and received some wonderful gifts including a Disney Princess baby doll, Graco baby doll gear, and a Cozy Coupe. Plus having the family gathered together was also a perfect opportunity for us to enjoy a classic summer pastime - s'mores!
My husband's parents have a fabulous fire pit which we used to toast the marshamallows. Liberty loved roasting a marshmallow for the first time! She didn't want to eat the marshmallow after it was done, though she sure had fun poking it into the fire. Big brother Peter was more than willing to help with the eating especially since he's a little chocoholic just like his mommy.
Unfortunately, he didn't get to enjoy this marshmallow after it took a tumble in some grass clipppings!
Everyone (except Liberty) enjoyed at least one s'more. While eating mine, I somehow managed to get sticky marshamallow on my arm and capris - totally worth it though!

I EAT SMORES EVERYDAY BY PUTTING THEM BAD DOYS IN THE MICROWAVE. MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THEM IS THE COMBO TASTE! I WOULD NOT EAT A HERSHEYS BAR BY ITSELF- ONLY IF IT COMES ALONG WITH A MARSHMELLOW & GRAHAM CRACKERS!
ReplyDeleteWe do S'mores all the time now because of our firepit. But I remember way back when my now 10 year old had his first experience while camping. He cried for hours (he was 2 at the time) because we were killing the Marshmallows.

My favorite part of the smores is the chocolate! My daughter loves smores without the chocolate so I take her chocolate and add to mine.

My birthday is in July and, throughout my childhood, we'd always have an all-day neighborhood cook-out/party. All of the kids (including me!) looked forward to when it would get dark because that meant it was time to make S'mores! The best part was that it was so dark out that our moms couldn't see how messy and sticky we were getting, so we could run around, all sugared-up and dirty like a bunch of crazed animals. Some of the best memories...
ReplyDeleteI like the chocolate part best...in fact, I usually make s'mores for everybody else and just the chocolate myself.

I was babysitting a 2yr old at a campfire, and he kept begging for s'mores, and his mom said ok, so I kept giving him more, but he wouldn't chew or swallow, finally after his cheeks were bulged out worse than a squirrel's, it all came oozing out!
