Giada

As many of you know, my kids are obsessed with Giada from the food network. Especially Ella. She watches her show over cartoons. Not kidding. Well thanks to my sister in law's tip, the kids were able to meet her! She was doing a book signing a few days after we got home.So we headed out to meet her! We had to wait for a good hour and a half (not to mention you needed a ticket and we almost didn't get in!). The kids were amazingly good. Maybe it's because they wanted to see her so bad? Anyway, we finally made it to the front. Ella had planned to tell her that she loved her show and watched it all the time. She froze and stared at her with a grin from ear to ear. :) I ended up telling her what she wanted to. She told Ella to find some recipes in the book and have me help her cook them. Then she leaned in and told me, "They are so cute!". She was very sweet and beautiful. We were glad to meet her. Of course we had to buy her cookbook to meet her. We've tried a couple recipes already and they were very tasty. Unfortunately they move you along rather quickly, and ask for no posing in front of the table. We found that out after trying it. So, the pictures are pretty sad. I wish Ella could have gotten a photo with her. Oh well!

Yes, it's blurry. Ella said, "Mom, she usually wears a purple shirt in her shows. She didn't have that on today". Funny girl. :)

 Telling all about her visit! She was just a little excited.
