Family Visit and BBQ

On April 14th my mom, Tyler and Sabrina came over to play with Hudson. Hudson is so lucky to be so loved!

That evening the Mirkovich clan came over for a BBQ. We made hot dogs, chicken, beef burgers, turkey burgers, zuchinni, yellow squash, mushrooms, and peppers. For dessert I made s'more cupcakes and rice krispy treats. We had planned to roast s'mores in our fire pit, but didn't have time because of kiddie bedtimes. We joked that it was too bad they didn't live next door so they could put the girls down then come back for dessert with their monitor. Luckily, they do live quite close, so I'm sure we will have more of these BBQs over the summer. 

Since Nic had already prepped the fire pit, we took advantage and had a mini date night after we put Hudson to bed. It was so nice to spend some quality time together and was actually quite romantic. A friend of mine wrote a blog post about this very subject recently and even had a printable dating bucketlist. I agree with her so much about the importance of finding time with your partner and I also agree that when kids are in the mix you have to get creative. We had a great time and even created allergy free s'mores with special graham cracker cookies and rice milk chocolate bars. I hope this is the first of many backyard S'more making date nights. :)
