Happy Birthday!

My brother turned 25 in October and my sister-in-law turned 25 this week! When my mom found out when my fall break was, we all decided to head to Mesquite to see their new rent house! I drove to Abilene Friday and hung out with my best friend and her man. Then Saturday around noon I met my parents and my brother at my brother's house. The four of us went out to lunch and ran a couple errands. Afterwords me and my mom made birthday dessert. We call it Christmas dessert cause my Aunt makes it a Christmas. It has a layer of crust of pecans and flour. then on top of that is a layer or cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip. Next is a layer of chocolate pudding and it's topped off with a layer of cool whip. SO.GOOD. Once Karissa got off work we had a lovely birthday dinner of steak, mashed potatoes, grilled corn, and Christmas dessert. Here are the birthday kids!

We also took some family shots, of course:

Sunday we went to their church and then to a nice family lunch. After that I headed off to see a friend and her new hubby!! It was so so nice to see them. I met her in college and she moved obviously after she graduated and got married. It was so nice to see them. We chatted and they so sweetly made me dinner. I also got to meet their precious little puppy named Burger!

I drove home to Austin for the rest of my fall break. It was so lovely to be able to relax with my parents and see my friends! Nothing beats being home!
