Between my move to the east coast and the fact that my cousin–the older sister I never had and always wanted–has been moving around the country herself while staying busy popping out the cutest kids you ever did see we somehow went 5+ years without seeing each other. I still can’t believe this happened (although last year I almost went a full year without seeing my sister), but I am so thankful I finally got to see her this past weekend in Arizona. Spending time with her sweet kids (ages: 4, 2, and 2 months) definitely gave me my first case of baby fever ever, however seeing how patient and amazing she is with them also put things into perspective, and I’m still not quite there. 2014 is the year of the dog for my guy and I… so we’ll start there.
Thanks for all of the AZ recommendations some of you sent my way on twitter and instagram. With three little ones in tow we only made it to a few of your recs but the ones we did cross off our list were awesome (Chop Shop! Cartel!)–just means I need to make another trip back soon. Highlights from the weekend: late night cousin catch-up chats (warm brownies and vanilla ice cream included), a purple nail polish party (see below–everyone was involved even the boys), the most delicious homemade enchiladas, and fields of cacti. Yeah I was in cacti heaven.
