Hosting...finally!


Over Memorial Day weekend, we had my family in town in NJ to celebrate my dad’s birthday!  It was great to finally host and entertain my family at our house.  Even though we’ve had friends visit, it was great to throw a little party and use all our entertaining gear!  I hadn’t used all my serving bowls, etc and it was really fun J

We also ventured over to our neighborhood pool which had just opened…it’s really nice and HUGE!  It had a great little baby pool for my niece.  It was so much fun to watch her be such a little girl, running (even though being told to walk!) around the pool, kicking on the side and finally getting in and walking around.  She’s been taking swim lessons this spring, but decided not show us any of those skills.  Maybe at the beach!

Nick got into grilling that night…on the menu we had chicken, pasta salad, fruit salad, corn, homemade mac & cheese ending in a delicious birthday cake! Cold beers and some wine topped off a Memorial Day feast.  The rest of the weekend was spent playing with Caroline while the men played golf.

Great start to summertime!  


yay! the pool!
