All about the food: Christmas 2013.

 We had a yummy Christmas day! Jesus's birthday cake was pretty, don't you think? Those M & Ms and kitcat cakes are cool!
 Jello mold. I got it at the store. I thought it was the cutest thing! I am saving the mold for later.
 Apple, cranberry salad. Yum!
The kids made this cute gingerbread house.
I think I really ate too much! How was your Christmas?

Winter wonderland


We have a winter wonderland here in Utah, I bet the ski resorts are loving it! The kids are having fun playing in the snow after school. My work outs are paying off. I helped a neighbor's car getting off an ice patch. The kids were pretty proud of it! Yay! Me.
The baby is loving the snow too and doesn't know still what to think of it. Mimi has been building a snow fort.
We have to throw our dog outside to go pee. He is not liking it. I have been shoveling the driveway a lot and I am counting it as a workout. LOL
I started giving Christmas presents. The time went way too fast although I am ready for Christmas with all the presents, I wish it would last a little longer. The kids have their last day of school today. 
Are you ready for Christmas?

Night festival at Honfleur: Paris trip

My Aunt, her daughter and grand daughter (my only cousin on my Dad's side) took us to the night festival at Honfleur. Honfleur is a beautiful and colorful port. You can't really see the colors in my pictures but it is very pretty at night too. They also had a night time open market.

 My aunt and my cousin. Love them!

Our pink Christmas and snow

We got the tree up and this year, it's pink. I didn't get any complains from the boys and we are loving it. I still wish I did more before I loose the Christmas spirit and stop decorating. My little girl already broke my Amaryllis pots and another fake flowers accessory. It made me a little sad. I am lucky though because she doesn't touch the tree and ornaments. Most of my kids at 2 tried to climb the tree and it would fall on them or would throw all the ornaments around the house. 

We got a lot of snow and very low temperatures. Between 10 and 20 degrees. The snow is not melting very much. We still have sun everyday and I am sure the skiers are enjoying it. I am cold all the time. I am not loving it so much. Walking outside with a baby in your arms in not that great either so I stay home. I am in the hibernating mode.
I am really enjoying the Christmas lights outside houses.

How is the weather where you are? How are you enjoying the season?

Beautiful cardigan from Sammy Dress

I really love this cardigan from Sammy dress. It's so pretty, warm and it envelops you. I love the knit details.  The long tight sleeves. It's my new favorite this winter! I got the beige color but it came as an Ivory color that I like too. The shipping was on flat rate and came pretty fast. It looks shorter on me than the model but the length I think is great on me. A great buy.

My daughter made this chalkboard sign: Keep calm and eat a cupcake!

Disclosure: I was given a free cardigan from Sammy dress in exchange for a review.
