Holiday Baking Party 2010

We decided to continue the tradition we started last year, of having a holiday baking party with our best friends Amy & Andrew and Betsy & Justin (Justin wasn’t able to attend last year or this year, but I have faith that he’ll show up one of these years). Just some laughs, food, drinks and baking my favorite holiday cookie-chewy chocolate gingerbread!

I made us cider smashes! My new favorite Bourbon drink! It’s bourbon, sparkling cider and fresh lemon juice-very tasty! And oh so pretty with a slice of apple for garnish!

It was switched from a late night to dinner time party semi-last minute so we opted for some yummy frozen pizzas!

Betsy brought a crudité platter and Amy & Andrew brought a big salad!

I realize that I didn’t get any pictures of Josh or of Betsy. Sorry guys! I think I was a tad too tipsy to remember to take very many photos and apparently to get my camera settings right. All of my photos ended up a little blurred. Ooops!

Thanks for coming friends! I had a great time!

Happy Birthday Betsy!

I went out to dinner, sans baby and husband, Friday night with my very best friends in the world, Betsy and Andrew, to celebrate Betsy’s birthday, which is today.

We went to our favorite Silverlake restaurant, Cliff’s Edge. I highly recommend it, beautiful outdoor seating and fantastic pumpkin ravioli! We had fun drinking champagne and talking about Twilight, Zombies, and how old we must be to have already been friends for 12 years.

The squiggly lines mean that we have been drinking.

Super squiggly.

p.s. I will never buy mascara that is not waterproof again. I bought some new mascara last week and forgot to make sure that it was waterproof. At the end of Friday evening I looked like a raccoon. I must have unusually sweaty eyelids because I don’t know how anyone wears mascara that is not waterproof without having it melt all over their face.
