Friday favorites

It’s Friday, and you know what that means — Friday Favorites!

We even got a rainbow during dinner!

We came home to these cute girls. They were lined up at “Papa’s Hair Salon.” One even thought it was worth a tip (which she may or may not have stolen from Papa’s change jar)!

And because one food photo just isn’t enough, what about these beauties! Does anyone else sometimes look at their food and think it is almost too pretty to eat? (Almost being the operative word here. I ate every last one!)
