I would definitely want to come back here again and sit where you can see the water show, so romantic...Thanks Triche and Kim for the invite, always a fun time...even though we got talked to!

and the best was the espresso with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream :) sooo good, will definitely be going there more often

Annual buyers dinner was also at a place I've been wanting to try, Italian restaurant Gaetano's...not only did we have a yummy dinner, but played white elephant. Theme was gag office supplies where Michelle and I strategically got each others gift so we could trade and end up with our own because we liked them so much...shh! we are too smart :)

I really need to try different things...stuck with my seafood! was a little too spicy for me, so Carla switched with me since hers wasn't spicy enough for her

and then this cappuccino was a different kind of a treat, not with ice cream but with a pinch of alcohol, supposedly the must try...it was pretty tasty. Actually...the month started, ended and included good food throughout the whole month...December is great month :) Good thing Biggest Loser starts in the New Year!
