"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun." Ecclesiastes 8:15

Girl's Weekend

This weekend the girls in our family got together for some shopping, crafting, baking, and catching up. 

We went out for Lunch on Friday to this French restaurant, where we had the most amazing desserts ever.  Afterwards we went shopping, where I was able to find some maternity clothes for the next several months.  It is so nice to have moms and sisters along when shopping!  We headed back home to rest and so Zoe could take her nap.  We made supper that night, and were pitifully tired by about 8 pm!  It is so dark by then it felt like time for bed, haha. 

Saturday we made french toast for breakfast, and skyped with our brother Mike in South Carolina.  (Mike and I always remember trying to make french toast by ourselves one Saturday morning.  Mom had told us how to make it, but we couldn't quite remember the recipe.  So we added a little milk, eggs, flour.... didn't turn out very good!  lol. Also, ginger does not work well as a substitute for cinnamon while making cinnamon toast. :)  We made shortbread cookies, then headed out for lunch at Cafe Modern.  Yummy food and gelato!  We worked on a craft in the afternoon while discussing other Pinterest crafts.

And of course we held, loved, and laughed with Zoe as much as possible!  What a wonderful time to catch up with the girls...I love my family! :)
