icewine festival...

54488-117-0E3D63045C06151A7006F7A187F8BBC7a few weeks ago we spent a chilly saturday at the niagara icewine festival sippin' drinks and munching on samples of yummy food. i love icewine and could have had many more glasses than just the two that i did! it was a pretty small festival and didn't take us very long to get through, but delicious nonetheless.

more please.



french onion soup. yum.



afterwards we stopped at a winery because my parents had heard about their icewine marshmallows. i was skeptical. i mean, how good could it possibly be? turns out they're really good. 


caramelized sugar from being soaked in icewine. divine.  



we're ready for the long weekend ahead of us, but we're unsure as to what we're going to do. we're sitting at -9 degrees right now (and the 'feels like' is -18) and tomorrow is supposed to be worse, so i guess we'll just see what the weekend brings. whatever it is, i'm sure we'll have 101 layers on.

christmas...

two weeks after chritmas already? guess it's about time i get a post together, ya? on christmas eve, i ended up leaving the office around 10:30, rushing home to pack everything up, and head back home for a few weeks. we started off with a visit to my grandma's, then to dylan's aunt and uncle's place for the majority of the night with dylan's brother and parents. after that, we went back to his parents to his exchange gifts with them. then! after that, we went back to my parents' for the night.

it's like santa's workshop. 
for dylan's side, we all had to wear onesies. 
it's christmas morning! 



books! i love my books.
i'll be honest. i was a little confused when i opened the fitbit. i had never mentioned one, didn't really even know what they were, and i definitely don't exercise. i had no idea why dylan got it for me and basically planned on returning it. then i started looking at it online, i realized i would give it a shot. i think it's fair to say, this thing has me obsessed with reaching all my goals! mostly the step goal. sorry for overreacting, dyl!



my mom really needed to replace her small purse camera, so an upgrade it was. along with a dvd and a bracelet. she's a tough one to buy for.
we tricked my dad into thinking we just got him a wireless speaker (he's wanted one since he saw dylan's)
nope! we had something big hiding in the bathroom the last few days.

a smoker! i think he was pretty stoked with it. and hey, dylan can't wait for some smoked meat in the spring.

now gifts from the parents. these iphone lenses are actually pretty cool and work great.
more books. i'll be kept busy for a while.

dylan's haul from my parents. games, video games, gift cards, luggage. he does well.
and finally some shared gifts. thing for around the home, gift cards, etc.

but the best gift...
was a beautiful hardcover flat lay book with thick pages of pictures of our trip to italy. amazing.
*book from picaboo*


well, that's it for christmas 2015. always a blast. until next year!

brother-in-law gets married...

i'm pretty delayed getting pictures of dylan's brother's wedding posted considering today is their one month anniversary! they had the most perfect weather (albeit a little windy) for an outdoor ceremony and they were one happy couple that day. because they didn't have a photographer, i had asked my mom to stop in when she dropped me off at dylan's parents and take a few pictures of everyone getting ready.

*picture overload*

brothers.


when your heels are digging into the grass...
yep, still rocking the aircast

giving a helping hand. 
and switch. 


the fam.

anxiously awaiting his bride.

he caught the garter! maybe we're next? ;)
