dine local: the greenery restaurant (& a happy birthday lunch)

over the weekend we went to a very special "sister" luncheon in for my mom.

my mom has five sisters.  for each one of their birthdays they get together and go to lunch.

we got to go this time since it was our mom's birthday.

we went to the greenery. 

i forgot how much i love this place.

great food (try the mormon muffins!) and fun shops.

and it's ridiculously close to my house.  bonus!

 

the first snowfall

  and we can't wait for more!

may the best pumpkin win

every year we get together with gordon's family and have a pumpkin carving/decorating contest.  this year gordon and matt tied for first place (gordon = frankenstein, matt = stay puft marshmallow).  i love the little family traditions we have.  they make each holiday a little more fun.
