"Spoiler" Alert!

My mom and dad came to visit this weekend.  (they were having Jameson withdrawals) haha!  I was so excited because my dad's 55th Birthday is next Saturday and I knew we wouldn't be able to head home to help him celebrate.  So, I decided to try to make this weekend a little extra special for him (spoil him).

They arrived Friday evening and I had these waiting for him:
My dad and I have one very important thing in common... We LOVE our ice cream!  I remember as a child going to the grocery store with my dad and he always had to get a box of dreamcicle ice cream bars.  So, I was so excited when I found a recipe on Pinterest for dreamcicle cupcakes!  They turned out very delicious and most importantly, my dad LOVED them! 

Mom and dad didn't arrived until later in the evening on Friday, but we didn't allow that to stop us from a little birthday celebration.  I had put a roast in the crock pot and we also dug right into the yummy cupcakes.  Unfortunately Luke had to close, so he wasn't able to join our birthday fun.  

We took my parents to see the "falls" on Saturday morning (brrr was it cold!) and then we headed out for a nice lunch before Luke had to head into work for the night and Jameson needed to lay down for an afternoon nap. 


 Lunch at Braco's

After we all took a little afternoon nap, we decided to go visit daddy at work and do a little bumming around Sioux Falls.  We made a very yummy crock pot meal for dinner (thanks to Pinterest) and then the three of us relaxed in front of the TV once J was in bed.  

Today (Sunday) mom and I just HAD to get some shopping in, so we took off for the mall while the boys went to pick up our new freezer (Thanks mom and Dad!).  Luke and I are heading to Mexico in two weeks and naturally I need some new clothes (and maybe a new purse) :-)  Luke had to head to work for the evening,  Jameson went down for a nap and then mom and Dad took off to head back to Ona.  

It was such a fun weekend!  Although our weekends together go so fast, they are always a wonderful time!  Love you mom and dad and THANK YOU so much for coming to visit!
