Dinner with the Happy Couple
Murphy is feeling like his old self again! 
He had a blast playing with Auntie Steph tonight!
He had a nice time hanging out with Mom and Dad too. 
Especially Mom!!! 
Murphy LOVES kisses!
Pugs and kisses!
That’s Mal in the background! 
Dinner
Dinner with my sister and her husband, Pat, was absolutely fabulous. We always have such a great time hanging out with them!
Mal and I haven’t seen the happy couple since their wedding, so it was nice to catch up and hear all about their honeymoon.
Aren’t they adorable?
Our evening started with cocktail hour. I cracked open a bottle of Harpoon Winter Warmer– my first of the season. So good!
I ended up drinking 2 beers over the course of the evening.
For dinner, we made a couple of homemade pizzas: Hawaiian and Sausage, Spinach, and Provolone.
Both pizzas were delish!
I ate a slice of each + salad.
My sister and Pat left a little while ago. It was wonderful to see them, but I’m glad that we decided to call it an early night. I’m exhausted from my super early morning.
Hitting the hay! G’night!

I love homemade pizza – what kind of crust do you use?

Love the photos of you and Murphy – they would make great holiday cards
And Hawaiian pizza is my absolute favorite! I remember liking it when I was a very little girl because it was my dad’s favorite.

Random, but is that one of those soda-water makers sitting atop the kitchen cart in the background of the first photo?

Hehe glad to know I am not the only one who uses terminology to describe my relationship with dogs–I just spent the evening with my new nephew Rainer, the boxer pup:)
