The Magic of the night skies

  We had friends over playing games tonight. We knew there was a buzz about being able to see the northern lights but when we'd looked outside there wasn't anything to see. It was literally minutes later that Olivia said her friend could see them and so she went outside. She came back and said they're there! We went outside and it was absolutely beautiful! I have never seen northern lights before so this was so exciting. None of us had seen them before! Even our friends were able to cross this off a bucket list.  Truly, our world is beautiful. I know there's science reasoning behind why things like this happen,  but seriously, how can you not believe that God created this and science is just part of the creating of His world?! It just doesn't look real, but it is. It truly felt magical being outside in our BACKYARD with family and friends. Definitely a blessed feeling I don't take for granted. 

May The Fourth Be With You... and into Cinco de Mayo

We celebrated May the 4th with Bel and Chris this year at their place Bel and I put together a fun spread for themed food for our dinner.  Sometimes it's fun to still get to play and be a kid. :) I didn't get any pictures this year of Cinco de Mayo. But this year I wanted to have our celebration with my family. It landed on a Sunday this year so it worked out for everyone to be able to come. Mom and Dad, Elizabeth and Lori's families as well. I made it all. Enchiladas, rice, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, aqua Fresca, and fresas y crema. Everyone enjoyed the food. I loved having everyone over and spending time with them. I do get enjoyment of being able to make food for others when we get to be together.
