A Sweet Weekend

We went to visit my parents this weekend. My dad is still in the hospital, so we went to visit him and to stay with my mom to get her house ready for him to come home (!!!). While we were there, we were busy!

Abigail and I made Valentine's Day cards to send to the troops overseas. It was a long process because her attention span is so short. She would color 1-2 valentines, then get distracted. We'd take a break, then color some more. Ultimately, she was more interested in eating the crayons than coloring with them!

Sending love to the troops!

Getting help from Nani.

After finishing up the valentine cards, Mom asked us to bake a cake for some friends who were helping rearrange the furniture to get ready for Dad to come home. Of course, I needed help! When I asked Abigail if she wanted to help me, my mom ran to the kitchen and broke out the 50 year old apron! Her mother made it for her when she was 2 years old, she used it growing up, I used it growing up and now Abigail has used it! It is tattered and stained, but I know it was fun for my mom to let her granddaughter use something she used when she was a little girl. It was a very touching moment.

She has a little chair that is just her size. Here she is pushing it around the house. She loves pushing stuff around!


In the heirloom apron!






Gotta get it just right!


A tiny little taste test!




Future Betty Crocker?
