It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

A bit of snow and some sudden cold (but not actually *that* cold) in Chicago and suddenly we're all in the holiday spirit! We're busy doing our part to revive the economy by shopping and traveling. Last weekend we went to Indiana to visit our families. For the first time ever, I had a cuddle with my nephew that was mutually satisfying. If he could talk, I think he would have said, "Take me away with you, Auntie K!" haha. All I could do was buy him the most expensive toy in the store and hope that someone tells him it's from his aunt and uncle.

Last night we went to M's office party - it was in a huge antique shop called Salvage One and we had a nice time, if not successfully mingling, then walking around the store and plotting the purchase of a Herman Miller vintage chair (if it could talk, I think it would have said...) I don't know if this is a wide-spread phenomenon - I also saw it at a party in Vegas - but... mashed potatoes in a martini glass? I am both captivated and repulsed. Speaking of, there were a couple of photo booths at the party and we took these Twilight-inspired pictures.

What all went on in the photo booth? What was the cost? 4 pictures for $.25? (Looks like you had a wonderful time!)

Dad- your favorite cost: Free!

I am not impressed with mashed potatoes in stemware.

Did the mashed potatoes have gravy?

I think wherever you go, there goes the party. FUN!

Love the pics! We had the same thing at our Kennedy Center party - the mashed potato sunday bar. It looked like ice cream, but it was mashed potatoes. And the photo booth too. That was a hit!
