Receptions and Registries

This weekend was just jam-packed with fun things!

One of my friends from grad-school had a birthday this weekend, so I spent the morning making pumpkin cupcakes with cheesecake frosting (recipe posted later this week). The apartment smelled like fall, it was wonderful!

B and I hit up Target to get a wedding gift for our friends, and while killing time, I found some great Christmas decorations that I want to recreate. I just need to find a cheap cable knit sweater.

We also had a friends wedding reception Saturday afternoon. They got married a couple months ago in D.C. but it was pretty small and not many people were invited so they had another reception hear in Dallas. It was at this cute little farm house which was now in the middle of a shopping center. So the pasture with the llamas was right next to a Staples. Only in Texas.

After the reception we all went out for karaoke. Someone stopped by Party City on the way there to pick up costumes for everyone. They all just got passed around the table and we ended up with some pretty random combinations. My picture is without costume. At one point I was sporting a red raggedy Ann wig.

Sunday, B and I participated in Crate and Barrel's Registry event. We I might have gotten a little carried away. I told myself not to register for too much because it might be discontinued by next year. Clearly I didn't listen. Sorry, no pictures of this. I was too busy pointing at things for B to scan. Afterwards, I took B to a very nice, romantic lunch at Costco.

Yes, he got a salad and I got a hot dog.

What did you do this weekend?
