One of my favorite guilty pleasures, Ddukbokki (spicy rice cake). It’s a perfect snack on a cold winter day. Kids loved it too.

Lunch: Butternut squash soup + Rosemary thyme Chicken sandwich

It’s snowing pretty heavy outside and we are so glad our fiends could come over to hang out with us today. Nothing better than being at home, nice warm and cozy with our good friends on a winter day.

Chloe was so happy to see them! Can’t you tell? 😉

We, once again, were not successful staying up past 11:30 pm, but the good thing was we were not tired to go to church this morning.

We are heading over to my mother-in-laws for some good Dduk Guk (Korean Rice Cake Soup) for dinner but in the meantime, I was in the mood for homemade Kimpbop.

Breakfast

We are making bacon grilled cheese sandwich &

Grilled Salmon sandwich

Rex’s family is coming over for lunch, and then it’s time to say goodbye…

We’ll miss you, Rex! We are Rex’s “official” dog sitter according to Chloe. Come back anytime~XO

What a fun trip this was! So glad we got to spend some quality time with GRC families.

Shane and Chloe played with their new games,

Then Chloe and I did some drawings.

Pork roast for dinner

Kids woke up super early and were supper happy to see all the presents. They were really curious about their presents but they didn’t open any of them!  They kept their promise to open them AFTER our Christmas service. I was impressed!

Off to church~

We are invited to a family Christmas brunch at our friends’s after church. I just love all the Christmas decors and amazing food spread they prepared!

Chloe’s gingerbread house cake. 

Thank you Lont family for welcoming us to be a part of your family and for feeding us your amazing food! ??

Chloe and I are taking another baking challenge. We are making a Gingerbread house cake.  I bought this Gingerbread House Bundt Pan and use the recipe that came with it. I was surprised how yummy it was. 🙂

This house is coming to a party with us.

After everyone left, when I finished cleaning up, it was time for dinner. It started to snow outside so we had an idea to have a dinner by the fire place. Chloe and I went to a market to pick up whatever she felt like eating- some pasta, some chicken wings, soup, cheese and bread then we came back to the house and had a cozy picnic in the living room. 

It was a busy weekend but it was so good~
