Amy Scott's Thoughts

It was a weekend full of celebrations! Not only was it Father’s Day weekend, but we also celebrated my mom’s birthday as well. One of the ways I show love to others is through dessert. Celebration was the theme of the weekend and dessert was the star on center stage.

On Thursday, I made snickerdoodles for Jeremy. I wanted him to head into Father’s Day weekend with a special treat. Friday, the boys and I took Jeremy out to lunch at a favorite restaurant. We also gave Jeremy’s his gift of Switch Sports early, so we enjoy it over the weekend. We celebrated Father’s Day and my mom’s birthday on Saturday. Everyone had the dessert of their choice. This led to quite the dessert buffet – brownies for Mom, coconut cream pie for Dad, and a strawberry custard pie for Jeremy. We also had ice cream and snickerdoodles, just in case. Possibly a bit much! On Sunday, Nana & Papa joined us for dinner. I made an apple spice bundt cake with a cream cheese glaze. So yummy! The boys had a blast playing Switch Sports with Nana & Papa and having some time to read books with them.

We are so thankful we can celebrate these occasions with our family. We don’t take these relationships for granted. They are precious. Jeremy is an amazing father and our boys are so blessed to be a part of his legacy of faith and fun! We are so grateful to have the best Grandpa and the best Papa in our lives! Even though it was a belated birthday celebration, I’m glad we could add my mom to the mix, too! Birthdays are always a reason to party (with dessert, of course).

We’ve slowly eaten up all the leftovers desserts. I might be going through withdrawals… I guess it’s time to get in the kitchen and bake something new!
