Happy 4th of July! Robert finally had a day off work, making the holiday even more extra special.
Abigail has become a huge fan of Maisy and this morning we decided to head over to Barnes and Noble to pick up a Maisy doll. Unfortunately, they didn't have any in stock but the book browsing made us hungry so we had a lovely big brunch at First Watch. Yum.
After Abby's nap we went to my friend Haleigh's newly built house to celebrate the holiday with several of our friends. I made a berry trifle and I thought it turned out very festive, tasty and pretty. I'm so glad I have that trifle dish to pull out once every...oh...5 years?!
Here are all the kids and mommas. Let the madness begin!
Haleigh's son, Axel, loves snacking as much as Abby does.
Everyone needs a hedgehog riding toy, yes?
Here's Abby with her sweet friend Madi.
It's 8:00 pm now and Abby is worn out from the day and sleeping soundly. Enjoy the fireworks for us, friends, and Happy 4th of July!
Yay for Robert having a day off. I know you ALL needed that. Gorgeous trifle, too. How'd the pound cake turn out? I like Abby's cherry sleeves. ;)
ReplyDeleteI was so lazy! I used a Martha Stewart recipe that said I should buy a store-bought pound cake (and then douse it in lemon glaze) but Trader Joe's had no pound cakes so I improvised and ended up making a TJ's vanilla bean cake from a box which we LOVE -- no lemon glaze -- and it was delicious. Still determined to make Anna's pound cake again, though!
