saturday with elsa

Elsa and I spent a few hours together one Saturday helping out a local ministry in downtown Raleigh. We helped organize clothing donations for the homeless people living downtown. Ben had helped out earlier in the morning building shelves. I loved getting to spend some time with just Elsa. We went out to lunch at Tasty 8 afterward and then stopped at Lucette Grace, a fun bakery downtown. We picked up a few pastries to take home and also stopped by Boulted Bread to pick up a chocolate croissant (Elsa always thinks of Amelia when she's not there and knew that chocolate croissants were her favorite and wanted to bring one back for her). We also got a chocolate chess pie at Boulted which was delicious.

Simon was eager to try some pastries.
