To me, the best gift my family can get for my birthday is their thoughtful cards. And today, I’m on cloud nine because of what they gave me. Feeling so loved and blessed…

Chloe wrote 40 things about me in her notebook and gave it to me with her card:

This is AMAZING. I cried and I laughed… Thank you my dearest daughter Chloe. You are AMAZING.

Andrew also left me a card with kids to give it to me today. 🙂

Thank you God for loving me so much and blessing me with a beautiful family….

Hanging up our art works…

Happy birthday cutest bat girl ever!

We literally decide to host this year’s New Years party during our ski trip and we returned yesterday. As soon as I woke up this morning, I went through everything in my craft/decorations closets and pull these out.

Since we had less than 24 hrs to prepare, we went 90% store bought for the food and I made 1 star dish, 

Seared petite lamb chops with rosemary balsamic reduction

Plus, I can also rely on my friends to bring food. 🙂

kids made from school:

Shane made 2015 calendar 

Chloe made snowman picture frame.

LOVE!

Kids left pretzel with chocolate treats with a glass of wine. 🙂

Cheers!

What do you do when you forgot to order a cake for your daughter’s birthday party?

Try making it yourself.



Chloe approved. 🙂

I made hot coco:

For Chloe’s with a heart

and for Shane, with a monkey face.

Kids and I are making gingerbread houses!

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).
