Christmas Affair

It officially feels like the holidays! Sabra and I made our annual trip to the Christmas Affair put on by the Junior League of Austin. They do a great job putting on this event that includes a ton of vendors. Every year is a different theme and this year it was Noel de Paris, just beautiful! I told Rhett I thought it would be great to visit Paris during Christmas, he didn't seem to agree. There is always so much to see and buy. I ended up with up a great ornament from Feel Good Frames, personalized with Leyton's name. It will be a great addition to the the tree this year. Sabra did some Christmas shopping and we ended our shopping getting cupcakes from Hey Cupcake! I think it was one of the most popular booths. Hey cupcake is another great place on South Congress in Austin, they sell cupcakes out of a little trailer. I had the red velvet and got Rhett one as well and then Leyton the Standard (vanilla cake with chocolate icing)! We had dinner at John and Sabra's last night, yummy fajitas. Thanks John and Sabra we had a great time!

Busy Weekend!

The Riviere Family had a busy weekend! We went to dinner at South Congress Cafe with Rhett's family on Friday night. Rob, Irene, PawPaw, Eloise, Hamilton (Eloise's Son), Erica and Derek(Hamilton's cousins). The South Congress Cafe was so good! I highly recommend trying the beef milanese! After dinner we took Leyton to a new place in West Campus call The Cookie Lounge, they actually let you pick out the dough and what you would like to put in it. Leyton thought it was great! He had Stacey's Super Sweet Dough and he added chocolate and reeses peanut butter cups. :)

Saturday we headed to the UT game to watch them play Baylor. My friend Amanda came in from Dallas to go to the game, she brought Nathan with her. Amanda and Nathan both went to Texas and had a great time at the game. It was so great to see Amanda, thanks for coming! Leyton always looks forward to the UT games. He has only missed one home game this year. I think his favorite things at the game are when the team comes out onto the field and then the ice cream bar at half time. Daddy and Uncle Kyle tried to keep it in his mouth and off is clothes!

Sunday my college roomate Courtney got married at The Plantation House in Pflugerville, thank you Courtney it is only 5 minutes from our house! Leyton loved getting dressed up in his suit and kept telling Rhett and I that he looked sharp. It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception at the Plantation House. She looked so beautiful! Leyton had a blast, Courtney had a quesadilla bar so he had them make a cheese quesadilla just for him! He loved the music and danced like no one was watching. I got a couple of cute pictures of him dancing. Gandma and PawPaw attended the wedding as well, Courtney's mom is one of Irene's best friends. Irene leaned over to Leyton while we were eating and said didn't Miss Courtney look pretty, Leyton put his hand on my lap and replied yes but my mom looks pretty too! So cute, I don't think I will ever forget that moment!

That is the Riviere Family wrap up, I hope that everyone else had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather!
