We call each other's children our "nieces," when in reality we're what, 2nd cousins?
.. Yeah,
nieces is way easier.
So, TODAY is my niece Sophie's 2nd birthday!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet girl!!!
She's. So. Adorable.... It Hurts.

| happy birthday, sweet sophie!! |
Anyway, rewind to the road trip up to Columbus - a short little jaunt, complete with pony talk and princess music. We really were there in no time at all (:

In a few short hours, we were rounding the last corner in Easton and headed for Target, to pick up a couple last minute things. Maricor met us there, and we followed her back to the house to find Chris with the girls. The cousins are
finally back together, after what has seemed like forever!

| literally, princesses everywhere .. haha |
Maricor and I had every intention on catching up on our own after the girls had gone to bed [Chris, you lucked out
this time, haha], but that didn't quite happen as planned. Plus, the weather here in Ohio has again decided that it's not done with its winter crap, so after a spout of rain, this happened for a few hours and completely derailed any desire to venture anywhere:
 |
seriously?
.... enough!!! |
So instead of dinner & a movie out, we saved ourselves some of the hassle and added some awesome to the mix with homemade Adobo and multiple rounds of Frozen.
 |
| mission: convert adobo into an air freshener. |
^^ It's been
way too long since I've had adobo. Especially straight from the pot. This, my friends, is called a Filipino problem, if there ever was one. I was drooling from the second the house started smelling like sabaw (broth) to the second we were eating it as though we hadn't actually downed Chipotle less than four hours prior to that. Whatev'. (:
Anyway, we're here curled up on the couch perusing
NoMoreRack, with our girls dancing and singing to Anna and Elsa a few feet away. This is just about perfect, if I must say so.
Tomorrow's a birthday party for the birthday baby.. and I can't wait!
