The Fall Treats Party was a success. We had such a great turnout & people brought amazing food- apple pie, baked brie (SJ, I want the recipe!!) apple cider, sugar cookies, pumpkin muffins, cheesecake, guacamole & Obama rice crispy treats (which some people liked & others didn't) among many things. We had a really good time. I was happy that we could help carry on Sarah Jane & Nathan's tradition. The common room in our building was a great spot- lots of room to spread out, & plenty of space for the toddlers to run amuck without disassembling or breaking anything in our not-baby-proofed apartment. I made Shack Shack's hot chocolate for the first time & kept it warm in my crock pot. Oh my gosh. It tasted just like the real thing. SO GOOD. Next time, I think I'm going to serve it in shot glasses, because it was just that rich. People stayed for a good amount of time, & then the after party (couples sans offspring) stuck it out until around 10pm. Topics of conversation were centered on weird underwear (I laughed so hard I cried a few times) & iPhones. It was fun..
Hooray for good friends. We're thinking that we'll have to do something holiday in December. Maybe eggnog, with obnoxiously festive sweaters required.

I don't know what it is about rice crispy treats but they are so simple and SO good. can you please make me some and send them my way?
that was very fun
It was an excellent party. But I am feeling a little sad that I am no-longer in the crowd that can stick around until 10pm. But I am not that sad though.
Sounds fun. Laughing so hard you are about to cry is one of my favorite things. I want to try your Shack Shake hot chocolate.
o i CANNOT wait to try the hot chocolate! the best HC i had was in Florence and have been dying to find one that rich and thick and yummy! :) sorry we had to miss it - but include us in your holiday plans (since we always stay in NYC for festive lights, etc..) - we'll dig up Dan's Reindeer sweater. :P
It was such a good event. I say let's set a date for december so I can actually come up with something delicious to make instead of falling back on candy. You were so nice to host!
