I made hot coco:

For Chloe’s with a heart

and for Shane, with a monkey face.

Kids and I are making gingerbread houses!

Andrew’s challenging himself to a 500 piece puzzle.

Loving this season…

Today we picked out our Christmas tree!

Kids couldn’t wait to decorate the tree.

Chloe already wrapped her gift to Zoey (her American Girl Doll).

Drink hot coco and

veggie out in front of tv…

feels like winter outside…

Andrew had a half day today so we decided to tag along and enjoyed the day in the city.

Bryant park!

Shane got pretty good at ice skating and went around a few times without me. In fact, I was afraid I was going to lose him in the crowd!

Finally husband came to the rescue! Handling two wobbly kids on the ice is no joke.

Came back to NJ and had Korean Chinese food for a late lunch. This hit the spot after being in the cold all day.

Kids made Thankful Turkey poster. They each wrote what they are thankful for this year…

How sweet!

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be partnering with VINCE this holiday season! With a launch of VINCE BABY line, they asked me to join them for a holiday shopping & gifting event that will take place next weekend!

I’ve been a fan of their casual, sophisticated & luxurious styles for years, and I can’t wait to check out their new BABY line.

I’ll be offering a 10% discount for my custom-made baby pendants & featuring some of my newest collections. Please share this post and stop by to say hello! Rumor tells me that they’ll also have champagne & gourmet nuts.

Plus, my cutest assistant Chloe will be there on Saturday to keep me company. 😉

•No RSVP required.

This year we’re back at the Wei’s house celebrating thanksgiving with them!

Andrew’s helping with mashing potatoes. Maybe he’ll find his interest in cooking again…

Kids helped me make this herbed cheese dish.

My contribution to the feast, roasted butternut squash salad with warm cider vinaigrette 

Mikaela definitely outgrew the turkey this year!

We’re so thankful for your friendship! Thank you for the wonderful feast!!

Chloe’s snowman with her umbrella

When I woke up this morning, kids were already playing in the snow again.

Shane’s looking down at Chloe from my bedroom.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Kids were super excited for our first of the season and when Andrew picked them up from school, they went straight to the our yard and started playing with snow. Shane pushed himself down with the sled and Chloe made a snowman. The best part of it is I didn’t have to be out in the cold with them. 🙂

Andrew’s work treated us to a family event at Frozen on Ice Performance this morning.

Starting with a brunch

No pictures for me.

There he is

I got you!

Not really Shane’s thing…even though he knew all the songs.
