Vday part deux

So the Hubby and I headed to Austin for a fun night of food and friends.

On the menu was:

prime rib, creamed spinach, jalapeno twice stuffed potatoes, prosciutto wrapped artichoke hearts in a gorgonzola cream sauce, bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos, cream cheese bites, brownies, and chocolate covered bananas and strawberries.

Holy FAT PANTS, Batman!!!

It was wonderful and Hubby and I had a great night together. I am very lucky to have this guy as my main dude.

Back at the ranch, Aunt Abby and Bram started to party hardy after Miss Tess went to bed. Poor little lady is still rather a beating when you try to bake, decorate and such with her hanging about. And I knew Abby and Bram were wanting to really focus on some serious cookie decorating and pizza eating. Maybe next year for her.

Uncle Blake and Nicki came to hang out with Abby and the kids. I told y'all my kids are so blessed!! Lots and lots of love for these two wild indians.


Aunt Abby and Bram getting down with the baking. Bram is standing on his Learning Tower. If your kids like to participate in the kitchen, then I HIGHLY recommend purchasing one of these. We use ours all day long. Both kids help with cooking, Bram helps "wash" sippy cups, and Tess likes to just sit in it (remember her chair fetish?)

Uh-oh. Things got a little messy. Look at the smile on his face!!!


Chowing down!


Finished product.

I don't know who had more fun? Aunt Abby or Tess and Bram?

My little chef, Jack, needs a tower. Maybe that would keep his feet out of our recipes?

Looks like fun!

What fun! I love the frosting on his arm. Cookies always taste better if you make a mess. :) And your evening out sounds like a blast. We were supposed to be in Austin this weekend, for a wedding on V-day at the 4 Seasons. But we opted not to go...long story.

You have, like, the funnest house in the world. Can I come live with you? I promise I won't bring my husband or son.
