An Afternoon of Favorite Things…

Friends, Chinese food, A Veggie movie and chocolate chip cookies!

Nathan invited his friend Erin over today! We went to lunch together at our favorite Chinese Restaurant and ate ourselves silly. Nathan tried Pot Stickers for the first time (Erin’s favorite) and Erin tried Crab Puffs for the first time (Nathan’s favorite). I had my favorite…Garlic Chicken Asparagus.

After Chinese, we came home…Nathan picked out one of his favorite movies to share with Erin. “The Pirates Who Don’t do Anything” graced our TV Screen for an hour until we decided to turn it off and bake.

Chocolate Chip Cookies! MMMmmm good! Nathan and Erin helped me dump and mix the ingredients together and then of course we all enjoyed eating our favorite cookies together!

So much  fun sharing a fun afternoon with our favorite things and people!!!
