Macaroon Tasting

 One of the things I wanted for the wedding was a sweets table...with all of the good stuff. And the good stuff includes macaroons. I've had them plenty of times but Chris' only macaroon had been a rose flavor and that didn't go so well. I had to redeem the macaroon...they're just too good and so I insisted we have a macaroon tasting. I believed it was necessary and  bought every flavor they had that day except for rose...I can't do that one either. We had agreed that strawberry was going to be a must flavor for the wedding and decided that we would also add our other two favorites from the tasting.  My favorite ended up being pistachio and Chris' was the signature chocolate flavor. Yum  :)

First Trip of the Year

When Chris and I started talking about the new year, we decided that we wanted to take more time to travel. We did a little getaway to Austin over the weekend. Originally we were suppose to go for bachelor/bachelorette parties and when that didn't work out, we decided to go anyway and just have fun.  That included a night of dancing and drinks, really good dinner dates, visiting family for spongebob birthday celebrations, and of course shopping. This was my third time being in Austin and I love shopping around the boutiques in downtown. I ended up spending all my money in Langford Market...brought that pretty skirt home with me :)

I'm a Royal Witch

 This is how we like to get spooky around here...fun drinks and sweets :) Surprisingly this year nobody threw a huge party as expected. There's usually about 3 different kinds of Halloween parties from my family but this year I guess everyone decided to keep it low. I've only dressed up for my mother's witches convention party this year, which are where's these pics are from. Today at work I'll be wearing my lace cat ears and heading to my sister's house this afternoon to hand out candy and watch a scary movie. She lives in a sub-division so I'm pretty excited to see all the kids in their costumes...I've never handed out candy before! What does your night look like?

Happy Halloween!!!
