We went to Benihana's for Brian's 38th birthday. The girls loved it so much and ask about going back all the time. Nothing like dinner AND a show!
The Perfect Sidecar
06 March 2024
One of our favorites! Except when we swing into the Haywood Hotel in El Dorado. Don't order this. Just stick to the menu :)
1.5 ounces pierre ferrand ambre cognac (or other)
1 ounce pierre ferrand dry curacao
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon simple syrup
garnish: 1 orange twist
Shake all the ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled coup. Express the orange twist over the drink, then gently rub it around the rim of the glass and place it into the drink! Enjoy!
Kate's 6th Birthday!!
16 January 2024
Our little girl turned SIX!! And had the best time at her Dolly Parton themed gymnastics party! It was the perfect place for a fun celebration.
Halloween 2023
15 January 2024
I feel like we celebrated Halloween like seven-hundred times this year. And there were so many events before the actual day! Which was fun and the girls loved it! Brian and I actually dressed up this year and went to a party too. Who are we?!
Pumpkin Patch Field Trip 2023
14 January 2024
Kate's second year to go to the pumpkin patch on a field trip! Emmy was suppose to go this year but LRSD will no longer carry 4-year-olds on school buses. SO SAD! Loved being able to go with my big girl again and spend time with her and her new friends from school!
Molten Lava Cake
13 January 2024
We wanted something for dessert one night but didn't have a lot of ingredients on hand. Somehow we landed on this molten lava cake for two recipe. It was delightful. And easy and so chocolatey! And just so so so delish. Enjoy!
Fall Soccer 23
12 January 2024
Both the girls played soccer this past fall and it was a hit! We signed them both up thinking they would be playing at the same places on the same days. Totally wrong. Showed up for the first practice and couldn't find Emily's team. Turns out we were at the wrong place. So I ran down to Riverdale to take Emmy and left Brian and Kate at Murray Park. When we picked them up, Brian was the assistant coach.
Labor Day Weekend 2023
11 January 2024
Happy Labor Day weekend from this set of cute little cousins! David, Amanda, Kai and Camden came to visit us for the holiday weekend. We ate great food, watched football, went to the pool, played and had a great time hanging out! It was nice to host family in our new home and watch these sweet little cousins have some quality time together!
