Perfect Day

Yesterday was just one of those blissfully simple, perfect days. Issa and I had a girls' date! We went to get our nails done with some great friends. Yes...Issa's nails virtually glow in the dark, but it really didn't look that bright in the bottle:
After our nails were finished, we headed to the mall for milkshakes and a little shopping. We needed to find the perfect end of the year gift for her ballet teachers. She found very thoughtful gifts, and we had some great girl time. I love afternoons like that!

When we got home, it was Daddy's turn to pick dinner (everyone gets one night to pick around here when I'm planning for the week). He chose country ribs and cheesy rice, which was wonderful. It's so nice to be grilling again! And...he made key lime ice cream parfaits for dessert--with homemade key lime ice cream. The genius at work...

He wanted the creation captured, but he did not want to be part of the picture. Can you tell? My blog, my rules: he has to be in the picture.

These little beauties had homemade oatmeal crumble, key lime ice cream, and real whipped cream. They were blissful...and decadent...and blissful.
