evening!
it’s been an afternoon full of playing


I’ve had a blast with my cutie little nieces and it’s breaking my heart to even imagine leaving them tomorrow!
I was able to watch the kiddos while my sister and brother-in-law snuck in a run together (I figured it was the least I could do!) and while Julia ate her teddy grahams for an afternoon snack I dug into my peanut butter cookie luna

When the parents returned, showered and stretched – my brother-in-law started in on his world famous meatballs!


I live and die for these things. They seriously got me through college in one piece!
Served alongside with more of my sister’s amazing bread


It was an absolutely amazing meal as always.

I’m stuffed – but I still think there might be room for some cake
night everyone!

Always room for cake!!
I feel like that with my nieces (and nephew) too – they are too much fun to play with, and I offer up a chance to babysit any time I can. Enjoy the last of your weekend
I knew you’d be excited for the cake! I took the pictures specifically for you!
