I had a great time celebrating my friend’s baby shower. What a beautiful shower for a beautiful woman! Congratulations Marini family! Can’t wait to meet him!!

Moms & kids holiday brunch date. Cheers!

We hosted a holiday pot luck with friends from church at our house.

I made Rigatoni with sausage & fennel,

Cider roasted pork tenderloin, roasted salmon with green herbs and Cheese board which I didn’t get to take pictures of.

Everyone brought so much delicious food. It was a feast! But first, a must group photo!

Oh and my Gingerbread White Russian cocktails! It was so yummy and strong!

Here’s the kids table… minus the boys in the basement.

We got invited to my friend’s beautiful house for dinner tonight.

What a wonderful time we had! Thank you so much for the memorable meal and even better company! Love you guys!

Chloe made us Nutella pancakes with whipped cream.

My mom photobombed us!

Watching a Christmas movie…

with my ex-coworkers/friends. It was great catching up!

Shane’s making garlic mashed potatoes and Chloe’s making an apple pie with Andrew. Our thanksgiving tradition.

Chloe had to ice her ankle and elevate it but she still managed to bake! For the rest of the day, she was ensconced in the green couch with a book and rested.

My mother-in-law came early and she got roped into helping out with the pie. I think she felt bad watching how slowly (and unsteady) Andrew was peeling the apples…
