Sunday & Sundaes
Yesterday felt like the first real rest day that I’ve had in weeks! Recently I’ve been taking my day off from running during the week when I still have to go to work so it was great to sleep in and really spend the day relaxing!
One of those cans of pumpkin that I bought on Saturday got turned into pumpkin pancakes yesterday morning… the first of the season!
sidenote – buy your bacon from the deli… sooooo good!
After church we spent the rest of the morning setting up for my grandpa’s birthday party. Laci was a big help putting up the tent…
We had a great afternoon celebrating my grandpa, it was fun to catch up with family and to meet his old co-workers from the hospital. The food spread wasn’t too shabby either.
As always the best part was the desserts!
My cookies were a hit but my favorite were the lemon cookies that my uncle’s girlfriend brought, after chocolate lemon desserts are my fave!
I didn’t get a pic of the birthday boy blowing out the candles because he jumped the gun and did it in the middle of our “Happy Birthday” song. He cracked himself up!
It was a great day celebrating a great man!
On a totally unrelated note – I got an e-mail from a reader last week asking if I could share my favorite ice cream places since I’m always posting pictures of tasty ice cream cones. Well, I put together a list of where we frequent the most often and I’m excited to share with you guys! Unfortunately they are all in the Boston area so if you aren’t local I’m sorry for tempting you with all of these delicious places but if you are from New England you should definitely give these places a try! 😀
