tara emailed me the link to our photos yesterday and there are no words! they are so perfectly US, the home video is the most delicious dessert - the photos the whipped cream and chocolate sauce drenching the bowl. i'll let you go over to tara's blog and check out her little sampling of yummies - they are bigger and shinier than they would be here! i will never be able to choose a favourite...











I loved every single one of them. You are so lucky!

That was just awesome. Thank you so much for sharing with the world of bloggers. I wish my kids were still little and i could get them to hang out long enough to do a video. Sweet memories forever! Best of luck to your family in heading back to your homeland.
