Last weekend was full of sunshine, friends, family, food and dogs. In other words, the perfect weekend. My favorite child (I kid, I kid) turned EIGHT Easter weekend so we celebrated with a small party of his closest friends Saturday afternoon. Emery made a dog-friendly cake (applesauce, Greek yogurt, peanut butter) and decorated it with Milk Bones. The pups had a blast and the humans enjoyed watching basketball and socializing.

After the guests left I got busy making a modified version of Dolly Parton’s coconut cake. It includes pineapple and is the perfect spring treat. This was our Easter dessert. View the recipe here: https://emerybodie.com/dolly-parton-tik-tok-cake/

We attended church…in the Bronco! I love when Bronco season rolls around.

After church Emery and I took our bikes and Knute for a ride on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. This is one of my favorite Greenville activities. We rode from downtown up to Furman University and back, with a stop at the Swamp Rabbit Cafe on our way home.

I hope you and yours had a fabulous weekend as well. The weather last weekend was truly a gift, because now it’s colder than a witch’s…..you know the rest.

Have a great weekend!
