The reunion

Olivia and Maddie (not Madeline her sister, but Maddie her little friend) didn't see each other the entire summer - so her mom Nicole and I organized a little sleepover for all of us at their home in Jersey.

Reason number 1 why I love going to Nicole and Maddie's house, let's be honest with myself, is that Nicole bakes the best cupcakes :D She owns a cupcake shop in Germany. Check these out! Gorgeous, uh?! That's what she greets us with every time!


Reason number 2 is that the girls have SUCH a great time. It's so fun to see them running after each other and getting in all kinds of mischief together. It always starts slow when we arrive and they haven't seen each other for a while....but that never lasts too long, and before we know it we are hearing giggles all over the house. Bliss.


Olivia goes fishing for lions. Don't ask who taught her that. All I'll say is that it may or may not be her daddy.



Reason number 3 is that Nicole is the best host ever. She put a guest basket on our bed. And organized a little cupcake decorating party for the kids. So much fun!


Madeline, not surprisingly, focused on EATING the cupake rather than decorating it. Can't blame the girl, she's hungry, after all we barely feed her ;)


And reason number 4 - Nicole and her husband have a huge garden for the kids to run around. My girls miss that kind of outdoor space so much, that they go crazy when they visit friends with a backyard!



Nicole and her husband organized a great little dinner so we could meet some of their friends - and since we slept at their house, let's just say that we may or may not have a little bit to drink to celebrate the reunion :)
