it was a holly jolly season

we've had a great few days celebrating the Christmas season

bleeker came to town from atlanta

best man in our wedding

long time friend from dallas

adam's bestie :-)

we got to meet his girlfriend, Dacia. 

the boys were smitten!

she is a sweetheart!

on saturday 

we showed them a local winery and did some wine tasting...

we had to hit Salt Lick for some famous Austin BBQ

they also have a vineyard

this bottle of tempranillo won my vote for the best wine of the day

tasted great with some finger lickin' BBQ, too! 

after our wine tasting and yummy lunch we went home for a short, but refreshing nap. That evening we had dinner reservations at Bob's in downtown Austin

adam and i split surf n turf, lobster bisque, lettuce wedge with blue cheese. YUM! seriously a day of GOOD EATS!!! Bob's never disappoints. their glazed carrots are so sweet. oh and the creamed spinach was heavenly. the boy's had jumbo fried shrimp and a loaf of bread each :) perfectly planned after dinner we walked a few blocks over and caught the shuttle to the famous Zilker Park Trail of Lights.

the walking was the perfect end to our day of great eating.
