We soaked up some family time this weekend. The boys did not have their normal Saturday basketball game because it was school break, so we took the opportunity to cheer on my cousin Nicole's basketball game for Nardin High School. We chatted with my aunts, my brother Travis and my sister in law Lynda, while we hooted and hollered for Nikki's starting basketball prowess. (She is fairly amazing.)
After basketball, we went out to lunch with Travis and Lynda. And then after eating more pizza than we should have, we decided to try the cupcake bar at the bakery down the street. The boys were entranced with the cake creations at this bakery. They oohed and ahhed so much that the owner stopped her cake project and came up front to talk to the boys about how she makes cakes. After impressing them with her gigantic gorilla cake topper (made out of rice krispies!), she then asked them if they had ever seen Star Wars.
Star Wars? It turns out the bakery owner was selected to compete on Food Network's cake battles to turn out a Star Wars themed cake. The boys were in love. The love only grew when they slid up to the cupcake bar to pick out their flavor cupcake, their type of frosting and their toppings. Even I admit to being a bit giddy as I watched the attendant frost my red velvet cupcake with from scratch cream cheese frosting. Yum.
On Sunday, we continued our family theme of a weekend and had my brothers, sisters in law and my mom over for a lasagna dinner. Travis hooked up his XBox Kinext and battles were fought over sports, bowling and well, maybe even a little bit of dancing. I am just sad we didn't have a chance to break out my Glee Karaoke. Next time.
It was a wonderful weekend enjoying quality time with the people who matter most. It's all about family. It always should be.
