Weekend Wrap-Up.

It’s been a big weekend around here.

My niece, Miss Morgan, turned 1 today and we attended her first birthday party on Saturday. Plus our beloved Earl the #Pug turned 14 (14!), also on Saturday.

Sunday was a beautiful mix of baking, laundry, blog writing, piano playing, and watching The Sound of Music for the gazillionth time.  (Wait. What? How did laundry get into that statement?)

I never, ever get tired of watching The Sound of Music. Christopher Plummer. Julie Andrews. Those amazing songs. It’s perfection, I tell you. And Joe is, at this moment, rolling his eyes at me because I am singing along to every song. (Except that I do catch him stopping what he’s doing and watching the TV screen every time a song comes on. Shhh! Don’t tell.)

While I’m busy singing along to all my favorite Sound of Music songs, here are a few of my favorite photos from the weekend:

The birthday girl and her tutu, surveying her expanse of gifts.

My mom, Miss Morgan and me.

A #selfie with my boy Joe, right before Miss Morgan literally dove into her birthday cake. (Picture of that on my Facebook page – here.)

A silly #selfie after the birthday party (and after the removal of all the frosting from Morgan’s hair) – girls have to cut loose, you know!

The birthday pug – our Old Man Earl.

And these. I mean. No words. (Recipe here from The Pioneer Woman)

Let Christmas week begin!  Are you ready?
