This weekend was so fun. Friday night we celebrated Patrick's dad's birthday, and we were treated to dinner at Carmelo's. (YUM.) Then we came back to our house for cake; it was the same cake Patrick had made for his groom's cake. We still have some left over.. so so good. His dad got a new backpack for camping, etc. (They are going to Big Bend in February.) He also got binoculars. It was a very nice evening, and lots of good food.
Saturday night, we went to dinner with the Duprees and Stroups to thank them for everything they did for our wedding. (Yep, we were super late.) We went to one of our absolute favorites, Taste of Texas. MMMMMMM. They are crazy... we laughed the whole time. Then we went to the Alleman's to celebrate Lindsay's birthday, and it was also lots of fun and we got to see everyone.
We also got lots of stuff done on Saturday, including our first shopping trip at our new (enormous) HEB. It will take me some time to get used to that place. It's so big and I don't know where anything is yet. But they have quite the selection and it's a really neat store.
Patrick and I also expanded on our culinary skills. We were celebrating Molly's birthday on Sunday, so Saturday I made her an angel food cake (my first attempt) with whipped cream and strawberries on top, and chocolate covered strawberries around the sides. And it turned out perfect! I was very worried that it wouldn't come out of the pan very nicely, but it did. And Patrick made an apple pie basically from scratch, including the crust. It was beautiful! Everyone loved it, and we had fun celebrating Molly's birthday. We also got allll kinds of fun news while we were there! 2009 will be a big year. We can't wait.
Alrighty, a new Jon and Kate Plus 8 is on in 13 minutes! I must go!
