So, after several very full and rather insane weeks... this weekend is my time to fill up on family!

I had the rare joy of spending the night at my older sister's last night.

I just have to brag for a minute because my sister...

is one of the most inspiring, beautiful, and wisest women I know

has 3 under 3 (yes, all in diapers)

loves her husband like crazy

is ridiculously organized (I mean, what the heck?)

leads their church's youth group

regularly makes her own bread, dish soap, face wash, furniture, etc...

She's pretty much Proverbs 31 meets the Pinterest dream mom!!

I love her so much :)

[Melissa, Ross, Ida, & Jack - Dad is away at a business trip, so they needed me to play Auntie for the weekend :]

So yes, last night after work I headed over, played with these silly kiddos and hung out with Melissa.  We chatted over a scrumptious dinner (did I mention she's a dangerously good cook?) and watched a bbc period drama with dessert.  Sister time is the best!

This morning was a fantasy Saturday come true!

The kiddos came in climbed into bed with Melissa and I before we all went down stairs to make pancakes.

Oh! And there were flurries of snow and we may have listened to Christmas music :)

After lunch, the two oldest came back with me for a "sleepover at grammy's house!"

This Saturday was the right antidote to my recently hectic lifestyle.  So grateful for the Baker family :)
