As usual, Aaron and Casey served up delicious Oscar-movie-themed food for their annual Oscar party

We met up with Mel for dinner at Assembly Row and had fancy adorable drinks at Earls (yes, it’s a honey bear shaped glass … very grown-up)

Maureen and I spent a lovely evening at the Gardner Museum, where we met as fellow volunteers 13 years ago!!

The ladies and their friend spent their bday party attacking Uncle Brian and racing with both of their godfathers

We are so lucky to have friends who spoil us rotten! Our friends recently got an indoor smoker, they invited us over, and treated us to smoked olives, roasted smoked garlic bread, smoked wings with three sauces, homemade fork-rolled gnocchi (I helped!) with an applewood smoked tomato sauce, and peanut butter banana cookies with smoked maple syrup. Seriously!

We started off the new year right by hosting brunch for friends, and Mel made a delicious meal! Front and center: cheddar and onion scones … so good!
