Family | Living My Full Life

I’m happy to report that Jimmy thoroughly enjoyed his Oreo cake.

His brother and I bought him a telescope for his birthday. He’s already obsessed with it and I think it’s cute. Not the telescope, but his love of it haha.

After church on Sunday, Jimmy and I celebrated his birthday by visiting Ohiopyle State Park.

I spent Memorial Day with my family and Lola! My brother, who now lives 20 minutes away from my family(!!), came over and we had a cookout.

We also had barbecue chicken, scallops, cheeseburgers, avocado salsa, baked beans, and watermelon.

I watched my dad braid my mom’s hair. So adorable.

Lola was walked and made a trip to the gas station with me, as usual.

Now, about the title of this post, “Decisions.”

I have some exciting news. My brother and his fiance asked me to bake cookies for their wedding in July! Right now, we’re in the process of brainstorming which types of cookies they want me to bake. All I know for sure is that I’ll be baking 500 cookies. That’s about 42 dozen!

What cookies should I bake for Bill and Racquel’s wedding?

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Mine was spent at home, with my whole family. I am so blessed.

Here are some recent eats:

McDonalds hot chocolate.

Panera Bread cherry danish.

Homemade baked beans

Coconut almond granola. Baked to give as a gift. Don’t worry, I saved some for myself too 😉

Homemade apple pie.

Homemade trail mix and coconut almond granola.

Jimmy and I after our church’s Christmas Eve service. My little sister played piano, we sang, and Jimmy and I read a poem.

Lola was trying to get every last morsel out of the dog bone box…

I suppose that’s enough pictures for now!

Today, I have nothing to do. That makes me so happy. It’s snowing super hard in Pittsburgh right now and my little sister is really sick. I plan on hanging out with her and my brother all day and then heading into church tonight. Sounds like a perfect day to me!

What are you up to today?
