Catching up on November (round two)

Last weekend we had a visit from Jonny, Bria, Lila and Ellie!  So fun to have them in Philly and to be able to spend Saturday together.  We met up at IKEA - a favorite spot of both our families. :)  

Autumn meal together

 (my favorite soup + bread combo: Butternut squash apple soup and artisan sourdough bread = yum, yum!

IKEA

IKEA is one of Meredith's favorite places to go!  It's an affection that extends way beyond the big blue box.  She not only asks to go every day, but all her animals and toy people make their way to IKEA during little make-believe trips around the house.

For mom and dad, it's a great chance to get everyone out of the house, have dinner taken care of, and gives Meredith some space to stretch her legs.  After Swedish meatballs and chicken fingers, we wind our way through the children's section before heading to find other "home improvements" that are hard to pass up.

No IKEA visit would be complete without ice cream!!!
