Photos from the weekend

Busy weekend at Casa de Llama. Sunday was our seventh wedding anniversary (that's an entire quarter of our lives), so Saturday night we went out. No sitter, the boys came with us, it's kind of become a tradition). Dinner at Buca di Beppo (you must try the chicken glorioso). Then a tour of Christmas lights and dessert at Steak 'n Shake.

Sunday afternoon, we made our annual gingerbread house. We just buy a kit from the store, nothing too fancy or difficult, but it's fun.



Sunday night, we put the boys to bed early and had a romantic dinner at home. We used our wedding china. We have service for 16 (long story short - we thought we lost our original eight, felt sick about it for three years, I eventually bought a whole new service for eight, and then we found the originals...) so we feel obligated to use at least some of it at least once a year. No cooking required for the Llama - I got everything from Central Market (overpriced, but yummy). I grilled a couple of awesome steaks, and the sides were pre-cooked, just reheat in the oven. Paired with a nice pinot noir. And turtle cheesecake with coffee for dessert.


Happy anniversary, my sweet and feisty one!
