Well friends there was more (slightly) premature holiday merriment this weekend in the form of Christmas tree lightings (not ours, don't worry, I haven't fallen completely off the wagon) and gingerbread cookies and carolers…oh my. I feel like I’m cheating on Thanksgiving.
But it was worth it.
We teamed up with our friends Sara, Todd and Ava on Saturday evening and headed downtown to see the official unveiling of the lights at Neiman Marcus, which was pretty spectacular -- think fireworks and Santa repelling down the side of the store from the roof... We do things big here. It is Texas after all.
We also managed some decidedly more low-key activities in the midst of all the brouhaha. A simple dinner party Friday for our couples book club, a stellar lunch with Millie, lovely cousin Erin and boyfriend Ben at The Meddlesome Moth (followed by a not so low-key visit to the madhouse Etsy holiday sale…holy cow...insanity) and then (maybe the best part of the weekend) we picked all the ripe Meyer lemons off our little tree and combed through a slew of cookbooks searching for a way to give them their full-due. I’m leaning toward Alice Waters’ glazed Meyer Lemon cake. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Hope your weekend was fantastic!
