Reunion of Three

Meet Jaye Anne and Priscilla, I went to high school with these gals and we tried getting a mini high school reunion together last minute since it’s been twelve years and still no reunion for us. Even though it ended up being just the three of us it was fun times. A lot of catching up with some yummy food and six hours later.

We met up at Priscilla’s house and therefor I got to meet her adorable daughter Addison or as they call her Addie. Towards the end of the day we took a walk outside in her community to get some shots of one another and of course my camera loved Addie, I couldn’t help myself. She’a a bright little girl too, she already knows how to count in Spanish and English and she’s only two!

Priscilla and I were in choir together and so had many encounters then, she can be shy, but she is the sweetest girl I know. I knew Jaye Anne back in high school as a sweet gal too, the girl that had killer natural blond hair, but we didn’t have many encounters then, unfortunately. Her and I bonded over our love for photography and wine. She makes the yummiest baked chimichangas, yes, homemade. We all clearly bonded over food and our willingness to learn more and explore with new foods and recipes. Oh and also chatting for hours on end.;)

Priscilla, it’s so neat to see you as a mama. Or mami, mami, mami as Addie likes to call you.

Isn’t she darling?

She was splashing her own face, her expression is priceless.

Jaye Anne you’ve got some beautiful eyes, pretty girl.

Priscilla and Jaye Anne, you’re such beautiful people through the inside and out so work it, girls. Look forward to our next meet up whether it’s just the girls again or we try a triple date with our guys. I’m suddenly hungry for baked chimichangas.;)

Priscilla Miranda - these turned out great, Nancy! Yeah, it’s cool to be on your blog, fancy. lol. Really though. You were so kind, smart and talented in school and you’ve only grown in those areas. Thank you for your company. I/we (Addie) had a great time AND loved your yummy pesto and agua fresca! I had me some chimichangas for dinner then lunch the next day! Oh, so good!
