Family Time

We have many family birthdays

the month of July,

and this last weekend we

celebrated my son's and my son-in-law's.

We went out for coffee

on Saturday,

and we all met for lunch on Sunday

at a nice Mexican restaurant.

Later, me and Jess did some shopping.

Jess saw this decorative box

and wanted it for the baby.

I bought it for her -

she can put hair clips and bows in it.

 

 

Jess' mother-in-law is really an

artsy and crafty person.

 

She sews, makes canned goods,

 

 

and she gave me 2 jars of homemade jam,

blueberry and plum.

I bought some sourdough bread

to go with it.

There's nothing like it.

 

 

The carrot cake she made

was amazing.

She used to be a professional baker

and made wedding cakes,

so her desserts are always so moist

and delicious.

She puts real carrots in her carrot cake.

 

 

 

The girls brought this home  

from their trip.

They thought it was "so me."

It is a music box playing the tune

Beauty and the Beast.

 

 

It was such a fun weekend.

Spending time with my family
is my favorite thing to do.
