Japanese gingerbread

I love the international flavor of the gingerbread pieces at the Four Seasons this year.

More of our town

Here is a closeup of the gingerbread Austin at The Four Seasons. Even the graffiti on the bridge is correct

French Christmas

Yet another gingerbread town at The Four Seasons. Tres bien!

Gingerbread Austin!

Here you see our hometown all gingerbreaded up! How cool! The Four Seasons does it up right!

Four Seasons Christmas

The Four Seasons always goes all out for Christmas decor. Here you see a gingerbread town with a Mexican theme. 

Flowers at The Four Seasons

We always love walking into the lobby at The Four Seasons and seeing what the artists who do their flowers have created. 

Play it as it lays

This confection delight is gracing the lobby at the Four Seasons Hotel for the holiday season. How elaborate it is! So much detail work went into this piece.

More jazz

This jazz quartet was playing the Four Seasons lounge on a recent Friday night. The trumpet player is a neurosurgeon by day. Quite a guy.

Flowers are always in Seasons

The big and beautiful flower arrangements at the Four Seasons Hotel are one of their trademarks. It's always nice to see the visual delights being offered in their lobby.

Cast Iron Chicken

I love a good roast chicken and this one at the Trio Restaurant in the Four Seasons the other night was terrific.

Living the life.

Nursery rhymes are the theme this year at the Four Seasons' fancy confection village. 

Three little pigs survey their domain.

Another masterpiece of confection at the Four Seasons, now showing in the lobby. When you use bricks, you don't have to worry about those wolves!

This house is just right!

Goldilocks is making her rounds of the confection houses at the Four Seasons in the lobby.

Dynamic duo!

These lovely ladies were singing at the Four Seasons preview party for the their newly-renovated ballroom.

Dive in? Don't mind if I do!

We went to a preview party for the new ballroom at The Four Seasons a few weeks ago and saw this fantastic display of shrimp and fish tacos. Delish!

Knights of the Vine Party

Our annual black tie assemblage for Knights of the Vine happened a week or two ago. Great wine and food at the Four Seasons and we caught up with some old friends.

Thank you!

A nice ending to our 40th anniversary meal.

Anniversary Amenity

When we got to the Four Seasons the other day for our anniversary weekend, we were greeted with this wonderful amenity, including two of our wedding photos on white chocolate.

Four Seasons Flowers

The Four Seasons Hotel always has magnificent flowers in the lobby. These were no exception.

Too pretty to eat -- NOT!

This roasted chicken tasted as good as it looks. It was my entree at the Four Seasons' TRIO restaurant the other night.
