I know that I have commented more than once about how much I love having Friday's off, but how about having a Friday off and spending the entire day with your grandson? He spent the night here last night and will be here until Sunday! Does that make me happy...oh heck yes it does! His Daddy will be spending the weekend with us too and I am thrilled about that too. Mommy is away for the weekend for some girl time...so we reap the benefits of that! I am going to enjoy every single minute! He is so much fun and is talking so much....amazes me!
So it's going to be a fun weekend and I am looking forward to it. I will be worn out by Monday but every minute will be worth it! Can you tell how much I love this kid?
Then Poppa takes him for a walk in the yard and he comes in and hands me these...along with a big smile! Be still my heart!
I am so lucky...and so blessed!
If you like bread pudding (and I do) and pecan pie ( I do also) then you will L.O.V.E. this recipe! I cannot wait to make it...looks like a good dessert for Easter perhaps?
ENJOY!
