Fourteen.
I feel like I've taken this picture three times so far this year.
(I kind of have. Zoe's birthday and then Sonia's, and now Lisey's.)
Birthday season is nearly at an end...Mr. FG, Zoe, Sonia, and Lisey have all had birthdays now, so that just leaves me (in April) and Joshua (not until September.)
It's been a birthday-riffic two months!
Lisey chose fried chicken and waffles for her birthday meal, and since I decided to buy the fried chicken, it was a pretty easy meal for me.
(Fried chicken is just such a mess! And there's a great nearby spot that offers takeout fried chicken, so this seemed like an obvious choice.)
I made my usual buttermilk waffles, which are awfully tasty. In fact, I think they're yummier than the ones they serve at Rosco's Chicken and Waffles. But I might be biased.
Presents were opened.
And ice cream crunch cake was eaten.
(Lisey picked peanut butter crunch and chocolate cupcake ice cream for her version of this cake.)
Happy Birthday, dear Lisey! You are special to us. 🙂

Happy birthday to Lisey 🙂
Ahhh, happy birthday, Lisey!
14, huh? Time flies!
Lisey is lovely. Keep up the very good work, Kristen: it pays off! Thanks for sharing glimpses.
I think sometimes I'm the only person north of the Mason-Dixon line (besides my mother, of course) who doesn't have an aversion to frying chicken at home. I may have to actually cook up some myself sometime soon.
You have fun with that!
(I actually hate frying most things...the lingering smells and the mess bug me.)
Well, we have a range hood and one of those screens you put over the dutch oven so it's not really that bad. Also, fried chicken smells great.
Quoth the chicken, "Fry some more."
Also, I fry fish outdoors in the summer.
Outdoor cooking would make all the difference! All the splatters and stink could be in the great outdoors.
I do like the way fresh fried chicken smells, but the stale aftersmells of deep frying are what bug me.
It also helps to fry in a very deep pot. There's a lot less splatter if the fat depth is less than 25% of the pot depth.
Happy Birthday to Lisey!
I've been away for awhile from reading blogs, can tell me what happened to Non consumer advocate Blog?
Oh! I just checked it out and apparently something's gone wonky with the hosting. I know Katy's not thinking of quitting blogging, though, so I'm sure this is just a temporary hiccup.
Belated Happy Birthday to your daughter!
That is a LOT of birthdays in a short time 🙂
Happy birthday,Lisey!
I admire you for celebrating your kids' birthday very low-key! That's why I do the same to our girls.It's more personal and they enjoy it, too!
Happy Belated Birthday Lisey! Everything looks beautiful!
Smart Girl! Chicken and Waffles are simply the best!!! I hope the rest of her special days was wonderful!
