Food and Family

Hello blogging world! I realized I haven't been keeping up with my blog lately... Here's a post from my weekend. Although I didn't make this food, I spent the day with my family. We always have a fun time catching up and telling stories.  I love visiting my grandparents and uncle. My grandma always makes sure we have plenty of food and tasty desserts.  This time we ate pizza and donuts! 🍕🍩 The donuts were 4th of July themed and tasted delicious. Visiting my family always reminds me of the weeks I spent down with my grandparents during my childhood summers.  Lots of laughs, Dairy Queen trips, picnics, and trips to the Dollar Store.  This weekend reminded me how grateful I am to have such a fun and loving family.
