The Toy Factory Cocktail

The Toy Factory Cocktail

This cocktail is named after my friend, Carter, who is a toy designer. I knew I wanted to do some kind of toy garnish (obvious, no?) and had the idea to freeze little army men in the bottom of each glass…

I used about 1/4 inch water in the bottom of each glass to freeze the army men in standing position in the bottom of each glass.

Simple Gin + Gingerale

I had grand visions for Carter’s cocktail. We tested a bunch of recipes with jalapeno and cucumber vodka. In the end, nothing was working and I was out of time so I went with a super simple gin and gingerale mix. Sometimes you gotta improvise!

We had such a fun night! We made homemade pizzas and lots of mixed drinks. The we did lots of chatting about toys, family, work, puppy love, life… you know- all the important stuff.

In case you are wondering, the army men stayed in place for like 30 minutes- totally enough time to sip a cocktail if you ask us! 😉 This little tradition has been SO MUCH FUN. Jeremy and I have really enjoyed thinking up different silly cocktails for each guest we have. More soon!

Our bestie, Rachel was in town for less than 24 hours but we mananged to squeeze in a bunch of stuff! After our little brunch we stopped by Funtiques and found some treasures. We all had so many emotions, both happy and sad. It’s hard being separated by so much distance most of the time, but it does make us appreciate the time we do have together that much more.

*Trey took some of these photos too- Thanks, Trey! 

Christmas 2012.

Merry christmasMerry christmas

Our Christmas was filled with so many wonderful things. Family, friends, cozy scents, raspberry buttercream cake (thanks, Mom!), sleeping in (woooo! not sure how many more years we’ll get to do that!), wine, cinnamon rolls, a (too) giant white tree and getting to surprise people we love so much. All the best things. We’re really thankful.

Here’s our Christmas via random iPhone photos…

Dressing up is fun! I just got these giant vintage frames at Funtiques. They’re pretty silly, but I’m into it. (My dress is Mac + Jac)

I surprised my sweetie with a french horn for Christmas. He was playing Christmas songs all morning. He’s never played french horn before but he picks up instruments really quick… it’s his super power I do believe.

Jeremy surprised me with an espresso machine. We’re so excited to experiment! We made our first latte and our first americano this morning.

I am so thankful for my grandpa. Every holiday with him is more special than the last. He was being really cute today teaching me about money and stuff…

My niece and nephews loved their stick horses. (DIY here) It was so fun to watch them run around with them all night!

AWE! I almost died when my nephew put a ton of stickers on his arms and said he looked like me! I’m the only person in Jeremy’s family who has tattoos. Heh.

And, last but not least, baby M gives me the most baby fever everrrrrrr. She’s so adorable. Her big cheeks and big dress were so cute tonight.

I love Christmas! I’m off to enjoy the rest of it with Jeremy. Night-night!!
