High School BFF

One of my best friends from high school, Ashley, lives in Cincinnati with her husband.  She was so nice to come up and visit for a while yesterday.  She is one of those friends where you could not see or talk to them for a long time and then when you see them it's like you never missed a beat, which is pretty much what happened until I moved back to Ohio.  I love this girl.  She is so kind to my little family and is like another aunt to Lucy and got her and Claire matching(ish) pajamas and Lucy was really excited to get a big bag of dum-dums too!  She also brought me a fun surprise of a bunch of seasonal pumpkin stuff- Pumpkin sugar cookies, bagels, english muffins, and pumpkin pie chocolate covered pretzels.  We had lunch from Panera, ate, talked, laughed, etc.  Ashely and Lucy also made some peppermint chex mix treats.  I'm so glad we live close enough to have been able to see each other every few months.  We had a great time and I can't wait to see her again!

Somehow I always forget to get a picture of us, but at least I got a picture this time (although not sure what Lucy is looking at)!  This was when Lucy and Ashley made the treats together.  Lucy loves unwrapping the peppermint kisses, stirring the melted chocolate, and shaking it all together with powdered sugar in a bag.  Perfect activity for Lucy.  Ashley also brought her own bowls and spatulas so I wouldn't have any extra dishes to wash, wish was thoughtful!
