Sounds like a great weekend! And puppy chow is probably one of my top 5 foods. ESPECIALLY if you add M&Ms as well...:)

Yea for scoring super cute stools and for the orginal grinch - I watched Yes Virgina there is a Santa Claus and was reminded of how much I love Christmas shows... I must watch Miracle on 34th Street asap! Happy Holidays girlie!

So many things to say.
1. Sounds like an awesome weekend!
2. I love the new bar stools!
3. So glad you love De Colores as much as I do and i'm quite jealous you went there. However, I did find a new Mexican spot near me we will have to venture to. It was also quite delicious! :)
4. Hope to see you soon. Happy Monday friend!
