I did take a break on Monday to go to Riverbanks Zoo’s Lights Before Christmas with Mom.

After freezing our tuchuses off at the zoo, we headed over to Gervais & Vine to take advantage of a recent Groupon deal. I didn’t take in my camera, but after a couple of tapas plates we got dessert (I know, I know) and I had to take a picture with my phone.
Peppermint cheesecake and sweet potato cheesecake. Whaaaaat? The peppermint was surprisingly light and almost mousse-like, and the sweet potato was sweet and spicy, but not as much as a pumpkin cheesecake might be.
And because I know a few of you are only checking back for kitten pictures, here they are.
They had their first round of shots yesterday and spent the rest of the day napping with my teddy bear. Poor babies.
To those who celebrate it, have you had any Christmas parties yet? What kinds of things are you taking to holiday get-togethers? I can’t wait to do a recap of this weekend on Sunday!
