Having fun up here in Spokane with the 'original 5'-dad, mom, me, Nina, & Alla...here's what we've been up to...
Sushi lunch today with mom and shopping downtown.
Visiting the Hill family. I used to nanny for them back in college- I can't believe how grown up everyone is now. This family is the cutest family ever and I would love to model my family someday after them. Stacy was my old high school English teacher, now friend, and I really value her wisdom and knowledge in my life!
Mom and Dad got "flocked" yesterday. It's a fundraiser for Young Life where you can pay and have someone's yard flocked for 24 hours. Such a cute/fun idea and a great way to raise money for kids to go to summer camp!
Cooking away in the kitchen. We made homemade energy bars (Nina was super good at them!), red velvet cake, vanilla wafers and home made mac and cheese!
We all brought our aprons that mom made us for Christmas this year.
Visited dad at school and got to have lunch with the 5th graders! So much fun to get to talk to 10/11 year olds...
Still here until next Friday...more fun to come!
Our 10 day visit is coming to an end... :( It's gone by so fast but we have had SUCH a great time as a family and I will cherish this vacation forever!!! It was much needed for me and my sisters and I'm just so thankful that we all love each other so much and have so much fun. I'm sad to leave tomorrow, but I am excited to get back to Jared. I definitely have missed him! :)
My cousin Mitch and I got this fire going for us last night. I think tonight we'll add smores to the mix and have one more fire!
The 3 girls made dinner for mom, dad and grandma last night. We all know by now that I'm a huge Giada fan, so we did 3 of her recipies last night and did an Italian dinner. Pesto Crostini, Carbonara, salad, and an Apple Pecan Crostata for dessert. My sisters make the best sous chefs!
Mom and Dad took us to Twigs for dinner one night since Twigs is all of our favorite place to eat in Spokane. It was fun to get dressed up and go out together!
The martini's at Twigs are sooooo good! Try the Kosmonaut!
We're girls...so we have to do pedicures right!?! :)
My BBF Krystn came over with Orland to visit. I really miss her and we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like since they live in Europe but on the rare occasions where they are home and I am too, we definitely meet up! We do a great job keeping in touch through novel-sized emails but there's nothing like being able to actually hang out! And Orland is the cutest little guy ever (who will be a big brother to a sister soon) and love getting to see him too!
