Christmas In Canada

As planned all year, we spent Christmas in good ol' Canada with Sonny's family. And YES it was COLD... and YES I was freezing the entire time. The snow did make for a romantic backdrop to our first "White" Christmas together. So that made up for my freezing fingers and tap dancing teeth.

It was so nice to relax on our vacation with family and friends. Probably the best Christmas gift we could of spent on ourselves was the trip itself. We hung out most of the time indoors and of course hit up most of the malls to check out the Boxing Day Madness. Canadians know how to SHOP!

On Christmas Eve we had a low key night indoors with Sonny's parents and sisters. We spent the entire day cooking. My In-Laws should really open a restaurant! They love feeding people. I don't think Sonny and I have been so full all year. Good thing I brought my stretchy pants and sweaters to feed in.

On Christmas Day we did some more cooking and preparing for the big Christmas gathering later on that evening with the ENTIRE family. The house was full of love, babies, puppies and food... food... food!!

Cali Christmas Fun

Before we leave for Canada with had a small get together with my family to celebrate Christmas. Sonny and I made delicious bar food (mini sliders, cheez-it mac+cheese.... etc) and we sat around, eating + drinking and were merry!

I've seriously been chillin' under a rock for what seems like FOREVER! This amazing DIY has already made its way through many of my favorite bloggies and I didn't even see it. Sad face!

For sure I will be making this bad boy this weekend! I hope you make one too!!! Be sure to check back to see my version.

Check out Style Hurricane for the complete directions.

Too sweet to even pass up! If I have time to make these before our trip I will. If not, at least I have it on here to remind myself to make a few for NEXT year!

Home For Christmas

This year we are going to be traveling to Toronto to celebrate the Holidays with Sonny's family. Since we have been together, we have yet to be with them. Sonny hasn't been home for Christmas in 7 years!! 7 years people! That's a long time!

In preparation for this snowy journey, I have been preparing myself for the worse. I mean seriously, the past few days in SoCal have been insanely warm. Like 80 degrees warm. I haven’t been in snow like weather in awhile and it doesn’t help that its been so warm here that I can can’t adjust properly. Just thinking of how cold I am going to be makes me wanna throw up.

I know we would be able to walk around Downtown like we did back in May. But hopefully we’ll still be able to venture out in the cold and I’ll be able to snap a few amazing snow pics this the one above. Til then I am just gonna pray a freak heat wave comes with us and melts all the snow and coldness!! :)

Catching Up

Who else is as overwhelmed with life besides me? I always seem to get like this after October every year. My blog is just super pathetic lookin' with not even an update to let you all know that I am still alive! So sad.

I'll do a quick recap of my business and then hopefully life on this site will resume.
