Happiness is: When Family Comes to Visit

My mother and Sean's mother's birthday are two days apart. I remember when we first found out we stared at each other in shock. I guess this was just a little tidbit I wanted to share. When Sean asked his mom what she was doing for her birthday weekend she said that she’d like to visit us. Sean’s parents just love visiting us and I think it has something to do with that casino, ha.

They arrived on Saturday and within minutes they were out the door to, you guess it, the casino. Sean’s niece, Nadiyah, came as well and we had a girl’s day of manis, pedis and shopping for some summer clothes. We had a blast and I really enjoy building a relationship with her. She is really such a cool kid!

When I tell Nadiyah to strike a pose.
Look at that face, look at that hair! ♥







When we got home, Sean was already grilling dinner.
No one was a big winner but they advised that they had a blast.

After dinner, we went to Rita's Italian Ice for desert and then Sean did fireworks and it was fun and frightening at the same time. I wish I had taken pictures but instead I watched from inside while he did fireworks off our deck. They were going every which direction and well, I don’t trust that the sparks won’t burn my skin right off.

It was such a great weekend and when I say that 2019 has been the year for family, I mean it. And I love it.
