what we've been eating...

so...a few things we've been loving.

first up:
have you tried these? oh my goodness are they good and i really can't believe they only have 100 calories each! mckinlee loves these.

second:
we love protein bars around here. i'll post a picture of chris' favorite next week.
i'm liking these. and since they have coconut in them i know that no one else will eat them but me!

next:
i put one of these in a gift basket for chris' mom & dad and had to get one for myself! i found it at whole foods and let me tell you--divine! i love anything that has a little salty taste mixed with sweet and this did not disappoint.

obviously, i have been craving a lot of sweets (what's new?)

so the last thing is:
homemade chicken & rice soup

we've been feeling not great, so i made this sunday night & it was just what we needed!
there's something about chicken soup that is so comforting, right?

what we did this weekend

friday i picked mck up early from school and we headed to waco for chris' nephew's wedding.
sadly, this was one of the only pictures i took of the bride & groom.
look at all those pretty ruffles on her dress!

the cake was so elegant & pretty and it was one of the best wedding cakes i've ever tasted.

the tables were so pretty--loved all the white everywhere

i absolutely love white flowers--the little crystals were so pretty too

the picture didn't come out too well, but the candlelight and loose crystals all over the tables were just beautiful!

the dinner was catered by a local mexican food restaurant and was delicious

chris had been working out of town and made it to waco just in time

chris' sister, melissa--the mother of the groom, chris' mom & me

mck & i stayed the night with chris' mom & dad, slept late (we needed it after that late night) and then met mom, danielle & sadie for lunch.

sadie loves taking pictures and took this one of mom & mckinlee--very good!

and this one!

clearly, she's a very reserved, sad child. ha!
(look at those dimples on both of them--so cute!)

mom, danielle & i were all wearing stripes.
(totally reminded me of when we were living at home and would go to our rooms to get ready. when we came out, we'd all be wearing the same color or similar outfits!)

we had a fun weekend--until last night & today when we all started feeling bad. i think it's beginning to be that time of year for terrible allergies. yuck. or maybe it's a cold. yuck, yuck.
