As I write this post my little man is in the next room singing Christmas Carols to himself, dancing and rocking out to some Jackson 5 "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"...That's what this season is all about...and well a little cooking, baking, creating, family, friends & even some snow!
It was a very busy holiday season but a wonderful one at that!! We had lots of family visiting as well as hosting a baby shower this month. So I took a short break from blogging. Something had to give with making gifts ( i made these socks) and preparing for the Holiday. I will share favorite cookie recipe of mine they are great to make for Valentines day.
I finally had some time to sit in front of the PC and catch up with all you lovely beings. We got a lot of snow today here in the East. Which of course means some more cooking... so I have a wonderful Chili recipe to share on the next post.
I hope your season was Merry and Bright and filled with love and joy and I wish you all a Happy & Peaceful New Year from my family to you!
Much Love,
Ming
Where do I start? I just love all of your holiday photos... your family is beautiful and fun! Those socks are too cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd your home is stunning, outside and inside with your beautiful decorations! How big is that tree? 13 feet?
{ One complaint....I gained 2 pounds looking at those cookies!!}
Thanks for sharing your holiday with us.

Thanks so much Susie for your kind comments! Yes the tree is 13 ft tall and anchored to the wall! I hope your holidays were wonderful!
Deletewhat a wonderful photo review of the season! So merry! So festive! Your home is absolutely gorgeous--filled not only with beautiful decorations, but also love. Your cookies look delicious too-a buttery cookie with a jam filling? My favorite kind. And the socks with the Christmas tree in the background is awesome. How did you have time to take all these beautiful photos-it looks like you were very busy decorating, hostessing, cooking, etc!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah...It was extremely busy but somehow i managed to snap a few shots!

I love the phone of everyone's shoes/boots by the front door! I love that jam, those cookies look lovely what are they?? Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and your wonderful comments ...That wasn't even everyone's shoes at the door!! The cookies are a basic dough called Mailanderli which has many variations...I am going to have it in my next post.
