Home Sweet Home...

What a wonderful weekend Jessica and I had visiting my sister, Sarah and her husband Mike. We always have the best of times together, and it really is one of my favorite places to be because I come home feeling so rested.



This visit was filled with let's just say some really yummy things...




This is exactly what we did... got cupcakes, gave thanks, and boy were we blessed!




How could you not be with three inches of CHOCOLATE icing! This is a bakery in downtown Nashville that only sells cupcakes. How fun is that? We couldn't decide on just one so we got 8. That was so we could take some home to share with Mike of course.




Here is Sarah and Jessica with their "Miss Princess" cupcakes. White cake with real strawberries and butter cream icing...




The rest of the weekend was filled with shopping for Jessica and the new baby, going to see a performance of The Sound of Music at the school where Mike teaches, lots of laughing and coming up with a name for Sarah and Mike's new cat. They finally decided upon Georgia. She just showed up one morning last week and has been there since. I say she has found a really good home.




Sarah had this gift waiting for me...



Thanks again Sarah for the gift (they look great in my dining room!) and for the memories that were made this weekend. When you come home at Christmas, bring some cupcakes!

  2. I'm so glad you had such a refreshing weekend! The pictures look like it was ton of fun. Your sis is beginning to really look pregnant, I'd say; she's definitely got the glow. Of course, you and Jessica are glowing, too. :)

  4. I'll get some more cupcakes but I can't guarantee that they will make it across the state line--that is, with Mike in the car!

    Miss you already!

  14. By the way, Christy, I think one time you mentioned all that extra space at the end of a post and wondered how to get rid of it. I'm no expert at all! But I've found that if I load a bunch of pictures, especially if I load them in a certain order and then move them around, I end up with lots of extra space at the end, too. Before you post, if you simply get to the end of your writing and pictures, and then push the delete button for a while (as long as it takes), that can take up the slack and eliminate that extra space. Somebody else probably knows way better than I how it happens and what to do about it...I'm sure it has to do with HTML stuff which I am clueless about it. But just wanted to pass along what works for me. :)

    Glad you made some awesome memories this weekend! You all 3 are so beautiful!
