Weekend Recap: Mothers Day

At work on Friday we celebrated the 6th of May, also known as the day after Cinco De Mayo with a Dip Party.  My co worker brought my favorite dip recipe and an old faithful for ANY gathering with the Peanut Butter Ball. You can snag the recipe here and make it for your next social gathering.  I promise you will get hounded for the recipe because it is THAT good.  


Rich's family came for the weekend to celebrate Mothers Day and to see our new place for the first time.  I got a little creative and ambitious and whipped up lemon buttercream icing for my homemade cupcakes from one of my favorite bloggers.  Want to try for yourself?  You can grab the details here on how to make this. 
We had our first grill out evening of the year.  So glad I have such a great grill master for the rest of my life!


A few months ago I taught Sophie to shake and high five. It is her favorite party trick.

I love setting a fun table.  For Mothers Day Rich made a great breakfast spread and we ate off our wedding china. 


I came home from ushering at church to find my father in law and husband sanding down some of our interior doors that wouldn't close.  Our house is almost a 100 years ago with glass door knobs so we have a few stubborn doors that cause us issues.  I am so excited to have working doors again. 


We were able to venture out to walk the beach for the afternoon.  It was a warm but breezy day and there were only a few people on the beach.  I am so grateful we still live near water. 


Sunday evening we cooked out again and enjoyed dinner outside on our deck.  I LOVE our deck and love the chance to share it with family and friends.  I hope we have so many more great memories on this deck.
One of my favorite pieces of the weekend are our new curtains!  My mother in law made them from some fabric we picked up at Joanns.
