Friday favorites: family, food, frolicking

Happy Friday! We continue to celebrate life’s little pleasures at the Hawkes Home. I hope you are too.

I thought I better show you the tree now that she’s complete with her skirt and train. Next come the presents!

The same day the tree went up, I got to have lunch with these guys. That’s a pretty good day, in my book. (Wells could not put his delicious chicken nugget down even long enough to pose for a photo. And Piper’s smile! If that doesn’t make you happy, nothing will.)

This is one of my favorites holiday treats–the perfect blend of sweet and salty, crisp and chewy. I wish I had another one right now!

We took Kanyen to Desert Star to celebrate her 11th birthday, and she brought Tessa along. We ended up on the front row. (They were the only seats left for a sold-out show). The girls were thrilled! Papa not so much, but he was a good sport, and we all had so much fun.

And it’s not Desert Star without some photo shenanigans after the play!

And then last night, my Mom and I got our eyebrows done and went to dinner. First let me treat you to some real glamour shots from AquaVie Day Spa.

Obviously I jest about the glamour. (Please disregard the end-of-day bloodshot eyes and tired face.) But truly Soly Maskooki at AquaVie Day Spa does fantastic work! I love her.

And I love dinner at Left Fork Grill. In this case, it was chicken cordon bleu, followed by raspberry cream pie. (For the record, I love my Mom even more than the food, but I didn’t want to subject her to my photo taking while she was eating.)

This morning I came into the office to find this waiting for me. Delicious and healthy! Win-win.

That’s it for me. How was your week? Please share at least one highlight–pretty please!

  1. I got to talk to a couple of my Grandsons, even if it was only by text. And of course the Desert Star Playhouse with two of our princesses Ms. K and The “B” girl. The Nutcracker, Men In Tights was fun and always have a good laugh!
    And to top it off, I completed a bid for the Government that I hope is successful. A lot of time and effort went into it and hope next week I get the call to know be forward.
    And I went to bring our garbage cans in this afternoon,(Friday is garbage day) and one of my neighbors had brought them in. So many nice jesters as I still have my arm/shoulder in a sling, fantastic neighbors!

  2. My highlights so far were Christmas nails from Meghan, the Dickens Festival with my friend DeAnn last night, and I’m sure I’ll add girls dinner to the list after tonight. I love Christmas!! (Kanyen looks just like her mom in that picture. Pretty girls!)
