Mercedes and the Girls

Dinner at Grandmere's house tonight.  Her tree is up and done and looks beautiful.  This picture only captures about half the tree.  :)

Mike and Leigh brought me this macaron kit that is supposed to seriously uncomplicate the process of making them...I am so excited to try it out!  I began researching recipes this afternoon, and have several I want to try.  They say that macarons are one of the most difficult of treats to make.
