Weekend fun

We had a busy but fun weekend. On Friday night, we caught up with friends over dinner and drinks. We went out after  the kids went to bed so it was nice to be able to catch up and laugh kid-free. Saturday started bright and early with helping Diane and Alex move into their first apartment! We are so happy for them and seeing their apartment come together; filled with a mix of hand-me-down furniture and little things they've saved brought back so many memories of our first apartments! 

On Saturday evening we had our annual corned beef cook-off with some of our best friends. We've been doing this since we moved back to Connecticut and had a lot of laughs thinking about how it's evolved... The first years started with dinner and ended at a local bar, seeing who could actually drink Jaeger bombs, last year was our first with kids and both girls were little babies, and now this year we have toddlers who chased each other around. How things change!!

We had a quiet and relaxing family day on Sunday. We went out to breakfast and the diner made Gabriella a GIANT pancake shaped like Mickey Mouse. She loved it :) 

After that huge breakfast, we decided to go hiking in the afternoon. The weather was gorgeous and it was so nice to get some fresh air. We came across a farm and the owners invited us to come over so Gabriella could see the horses. It was the first time she's seen a large animal in person and it was so awesome! She was amazed! 

Happy Tuesday!
