Saturday afternoon we headed down to Douglasville to spend the day with Andrea, Ryan, and Anthony. Andrea enticed me with her amazing pumpkin cookies if we came and brought our Kitchen-Aid mixer. I obviously agreed… I could not resist her cookies and a day to chill with them to see their new neighborhood.
Andrea and Ryan recently purchased a house in Tributary in Douglasville and wanted to show us the awesome amenities and future plans for the neighborhood. When we got there Ryan and I headed out for the essentials (beer) and groceries while ladies prepped to make the cookies and relaxed. Once we got home it was football time as we rooted for opposing teams… I was favoring Georgia of course! Ryan… not so much… he is a Florida Gators fan.
Around halftime, we headed out to check out the neighborhood. It was amazing how large it was and what amenities they were planning to build as well as what was already there. The place was REALLY nice. Everything from little town square size parks to dog parks to nature trails were part of the shocking amenities. We returned to Andrea and Ryan’s and watched the rest of the game while the ladies made the pumpkin cookies.
By the time the game was over, a large amount of the cookies were done thanks to Andrea’s new bad ass ovens. These things are SWEET!! Anthony got curious over what was going on at the island and decided to make some of his own confections. He mixed sugar, flour, nutmeg, baking powder and cinnamon in his mixing bowl and even tasted it a few times to make sure he liked it. It was so cute!!
After he finished mixing, he headed to the living room to steal the cushions and make a sofa fort. He would bury himself in all of the cushions and pop up like peek-a-boo. He was getting such a kick out of it.
We ate dinner and relaxed for a while before heading back home. It was a ton of fun, as usual and we can’t wait to see them again… except next time there should be a new family member with them as Andrea is expected to deliver the new baby over Thanksgiving!!!!
