“Everywhere you look”

It’s a full house over here

(+ my nana and stepdad)

The Pilot’s side of the fam came in from the southeast yesterday afternoon, and when they got here we did what most people do with out-of-town guests:

took them to a bar.

 

Ok, so not a *real* bar, but to the squadron bar for family day. It’s something that our squadron is going to start doing more often: grilling out burgers and brats, bringing sides and desserts, drinking and being merry,

and eating lots and lots of hogcorn- my popcorn love.

 

(Popcorn popped with jalapenos, salt and spices. The trick is that you need an actual popcorn machine to do it, because the jalapenos get super crispy. I tried to replicate it at home, and while it was good, it was a little soggy)

After family day, we came back to the house for a little dessert party.

Madre brought over an amazing chocolate fruit tart from Beyond Bread

and a plate of tasty treats like lemon bars, cream puffs, éclairs, key lime pie, cannoli…

and a red velvet cake.

It was so much fun to see and catch up with everyone, and brush out little Bell- brushing is her favorite.

This morning while everyone is still snoozing, I’m off to work to take a dance class with live drummers that I might be teaching. After shaking time, back home for a breakfast feast and Tucson adventures.

See ya later tonight!

PS. The title of this post reminded me of how ridiculously in love with Uncle Jesse I used to be.
