So how was your week?
Mine was spent surrounded by tortilla chips on the table, long talks with best friends, laughter and acrobatics from my adopted niece and nephew, dessert, impromptu dance parties, homemade breakfasts, brainstorms, chocolate, window shopping, inside jokes, and more dessert. I've been in Texas all week (Houston, mostly, with a side trip to Austin) visiting Courtney, Dave and family--four of my favorite people on Earth.
We 4th of July-ed it up Texas-style, complete with a neighborhood parade, barbecue with Courtney and Dave's friends Elizabeth and Shane (several of these pics are of Elizabeth's homemade magic), and sparklers before a big fancy fireworks display in town.
It was a wonderfully memorable and totally relaxing trip. My heart is currently full of love, gratitude, and mucho queso. Thank you, my lovely friends...

Awwww! I so wish I had been with you guys. Looks like a WONDERFUL visit... :) What was wrapped in the red packages with each person's name? Where those the sparklers? Too fun!
Yup--those were the sparklers! Wish you had been there, too. xo
What a lovely recap to your visit - such a touching post, sweet friend! Such yummy photos and memories. XOXO
Thank you, oh documenter of the festivities! It's so fun to relive our special 4th and we loved you being here...but Dude, where's the edible bald eagle? ;)
I know! I didn't get a great shot of the eagle cookie--was really bummed...that thing was awesome.
