Food, Family, Fun...and more Food

My sister deems a trip to Greenville unacceptable without a few trip(s) to Brick Street Cafe so we started out the weekend with a quick trip to get dessert.

Don't be jealous of my choice...or the glassware my dessert came in...



Best chocolate milkshake ever!

And here is Kelly's all-time favorite...



Peanut Butter Cake!

We followed our desserts up with a Manicure for Kelly and a Pedicure for me, and I forgot how much I love those...it's been awhile.

After that we came home to my Bird!


We ended the night at Blake's house (sans Blake) for dinner where we ate Sharon's AMAZING homemade pizza...



Bird refused to take her glasses off when she ate...



or while she was hanging with Brew (Brent's son)...


But she decided to share her sunnies with her new friend



She even cracked a smile for the second time ever in a picture...it was a special special night


We took a peak into Brent's life in oh about 7 years...



Oh wait...make that NIKKI and Brent's life in 7 years...



And after a long, fun night we were all worn out and ready to go to bed...



because we knew we'd have an early morning the next day!



Nikki and Brent decided to throw a garage sale at Blake's dad's office, so I came bright and early to watch the fun!



Preparing for it...



it was a hit! (even though I didn't snag a picture at peak hours)



Nikki decided to bring out her (BLUE!!) sunglasses and (I can hardly say the word) fanny pack (sick...) to play the part of the redneck garage seller...



I laughed SO hard!

Heck, towards the end they were getting so desperate they even tried bargaining their own son away...



We decided to stick with the theme for the day and hit up our favorite spot...



Our spread...


Doesn't this just make you hungry? I got my usual...double hashbrowns IN THE RINGS and extra well done bacon. (Those rings are crucial to a good breakfast)



Unfortunately Bauer got the shaft and had to eat apples and prunes instead...



That afternoon we decided to have a dad/daughter date and took a spontaneous trip up to Hendersonville, NC to see the house my dad is looking to buy...


I kid. I kid.

Unless of course he's hiding $2.4 million from me somewhere.

From the house we decided to take a stroll downtown with one large candy stop at Mast General Store. Holy moly...you could make the best stocking EVER for a kid from that store alone.

Shoot...you could make the best stocking ever for ME at that store alone!



It was a gorgeous day and we walked for hours...



ok maybe not hours...maybe one hour, but you get my drift, and then Naphtali found THIS store where she stomped her way in...



She was running through that store going crazy over everything...especially the shoes (obviously)



She exasperated herself so much on our little adventure that she crashed as soon as she hit the car seat.

And when the sunnies come off, you KNOW she is seriously done!



As soon as we got home, however she woke up to lots of loving from her uncles! hahaha Her 7 and 11 year old uncles....



And that night Kelly and I came across these while taking a trip to Gap, and had to get a matching set. It's a curse I have to get everything she gets...I think it makes me feel closer to her...

Yeah, I'll keep using that excuse.


I finally came back home and had an amazing dinner with my hubs, his dad and my brother-in-law, Chandler at the Blue Marlin (Oh of course...more food!) I was so stinking excited to see their beautiful Christmas decorations!


I forgot to take a picture of when my food came out, but obviously I enjoyed it!



There is nothing better than time with your family, especially my sister and my babies, so I was depressed to have to say goodbye for now, but it won't be too long before I'll have to turn around and go see them in Miami!

The bright side...It's a three day work week and my second favorite holiday is just days away!! You better believe there will be more food posts to come! :)
