Football Saturday… And since the Penn State and Illinois game might never end, I decided it was snack time!

Illinois orange. 😉

It’s almost hard to believe!

But, yes, it really did happen!

Months ago, my BFF (who lives in California) called and asked if we want to go to a Switchfoot concert. In Raleigh!

Sure, I said. Sounds amazing! (And the pandemic will be gone by then, right? Haha!)

But, the delta variant didn’t stop us.

Even Southwest’s flight fiasco last weekend didn’t stop us.

Somehow, they got here safely on Wednesday… and we made it to a concert!!!

Though, first, we had “dinner” at Bittersweet!

What a fabulous night at Redhat!

Happy 10th anniversary to our favorite doughnut shop!!!

The original Burney’s opened 10 years ago, and our Raleigh shop is celebrating, too!

They are offering a special on one dozen original glazed doughnut croissants! Yum! 😋

Or you can get the fancy ones like we did. 🥳 Turtle, maple bacon and chocolate cream filled are pictured here.

Happy anniversary!!! We look forward to many more sweet celebrations with you!

Our little Elsa, then and now!

In 2014, Ellie got her first Elsa costume, made from a dance costume and some white tulle. She loved this costume and wore it whenever she could, even at Disney!

Fast forward to 2021, a d our sweet girl still loves Elsa and Anna and Olaf as much as ever.

It’s the magic of Disney. The magic of memories. The magic of love.

She’s our princess! 💕
