How did you enjoy the Holidays? Have you come up with resolutions, or do the one word?
I've chosen to do one word. My word is ATTITUDE. Isn't that a huge word?
Maybe one day soon, I will explain why I chose this word. Hopefully, I can stick with it. Check back with me on this, okay? LOL.
We had family come up for Christmas Eve. My mom flew up from Florida, and my sister brought her up. She brought her kids and also my sister in law with the kids as well. :) Yes, my house was jam packed full of kids laughing, playing, running! I loved every moment!!!! I meant to get pictures of all of the grandkids together, but time, and my memory didn't allow it. :(
Instead, I have pictures of my fave ornaments. :) they're not as cute as the kids, but I took the tree down this weekend and wanted to photograph them.
This is my fave type of snow flake. :)
Every year, we try to get a couple of new ones that symbolize what we liked that particular year. This year, I found an owl!
and if you couldn't already tell, I like sparkly, glittery things!
Also, throughout our little Christmas/New Years vacation, we've been doing some cooking. Heavy duty! We made some spanish food we've been craving at home, and my hubby was baking cupcakes because my mom was craving sweets.
he made some yummy chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting:
then he baked some egg nog cupcakes with an egg nog/cream cheese frosting. Yum.
and my fave for last: Flan.
ALL of these desserts were made from scratch. He even made evaporated milk!
yes, I gained weight...2 lbs. :(
You know what's coming up?
Another challenge over at AAM. (I want to extend a congrats to Lynn for winning the Dec. prize)
Go on over there on the 5th, that's when the challenge goes live. In the mean time, who would I be if I didn't give you s sneak peek (or 2, maybe 3....)???! :wink:
Are you excited? I am!
so....how did you spend the holidays???! I'm dying to know!
