Of the Moment: Scenes from the weekend

This past weekend I road-tripped to VA Beach to spend quality time with some of my best friends. It was Jenna's 23rd birthday and her baby cousin Addison turned 1 the same day! First, I made these cookies as part of both Addy and Jen's birthday present. I decorated sugar cookies with royal icing - it's a long process, but a fun one! I think they turned out pretty charming and perfect for the birthday celebration.

We had a big combined birthday party for Jen, Addison, and Amber's hubby Pat {whose birthday is right after Jen and Addy's}. Amber hosted it at her house, and of course the party was not complete without a big blow up castle moonbounce. The kiddies at the party enjoyed it for a bit, but after Addy's party died down, the adults {aka the older kids} took over. It was so much fun to spend the day with great friends and Jen's family. We spent the day catching up, laughing, and letting loose to jump around a bit. When do you ever get to jump in a giant moonbounce at the age of 23? Not often, so we took advantage.
