SUMMER CHOCOLATE ECLAIRS...MAKING A HAPPY SUMMER!



How has the start of your summer been?
Warm weather activities are in full swing over in Atlanta!



The kiddos are doing amazing at their swim competitions!
Remember those carefree days of summer when you were a kid?



Greg and Jenn had a fantastic trip to D.C.


They packed a whole lot of sightseeing into three days!
We cannot wait to see more pictures and hear more about their vacation!

Speaking of summer,
Mother always made this for those hot June days
when we were growing up.
It's just not summer without 
a cool Chocolate Eclair Cake y'all! 


Summer Chocolate Éclairs
1 large Cool Whip
1 box graham crackers
2 small boxes French vanilla instant pudding

Topping
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons cocoa
