One in a million

Someone got a bath this morning!!
All clean. Shhh.. don't tell anyone I haven't had a bath in a loooooooong time.
Not sure who enjoyed it more, the dog or my mom.
I love a full house. Warm bodies also keeps the house nice and toasty.
Let's be asian shall we? Peace.
Apple cider roasted duck. So succulent and delicious.
Rosemary/garlic shoulder of lamb.
We ran out of plates so I had to improvise and eat off a Merlot serving plate :/

Bobby Flay's pumpkin soup.
Homemade mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and sauteed kale. Everything was amazing. I think I went up for thirds? I ate more today than I did on Thanksgiving! That's a first.
Let's burn off some calories
Kinnect is such a fun new toy!

The big boy wouldn't let the small boy win. Joe don't you know you have longer arms and legs than the poor kid! Sheesh!!
Somehow I don't trust her sitting lookin all innocent.
Sticky toffee pudding for dessert. It was warm, gooey, and mmmmm good! I can feel my waistline expanding as we speak.
Opening Christmas crackers. Joke of the night: Q: What do you call a chicken with a shell costume?
A: an Egg :o) :o)

Mom trying T's homemade spiked Eggnog or shall we say Rum with a little bit of eggnog?
Arf Arf had so much fun playing w. all the new guests.
Sonoma got a new toy and some table scraps. What a Merry Christmas indeed.
We're all pooped from the long day's activities.
Jad put on another clarinet performance for us. Bravo!! Great way to end a very busy day.

Song of the night: Ne-Yo "One in a million"

Christmas love

Christmas morning breakfast of toast, sunny side up eggs, and smoked salmon scrambled eggs.
Yummy! I ran around my neighborhood for an hour. Everything was so quiet and peaceful. I LOVED IT!
Delicious spread.
Time for presents!!
Everyone grab your stockings!




I got hot sauce in my stocking. Have you seen a happier face?

My mom smiles from the heart. :o)
I squealed like a pig being chased when I saw this voucher. A 3 hour house cleaning and I don't have to do it myself? SWEET!!!
I am fascinated by scary movies and scary tours. T got me a voucher for the London Tombs tour. Does someone know me well or what!
My stocking was stuffed with lots of fun goodies: a Chicago Michelin guide, a London for Londoner's Timeout book, and lots of candy.



Sonoma is trying to get in on the action in any way possible.
Trying to divvy up the presents is hard work when they aren't labeled!!
"Attack, Attack!!" Santa brought her some fancy canned dog food.
Lots of presents to be opened.
I got everything I asked for this Christmas: Zumba certification, gloves, scarfs, workout clothes, and a Barcelona book. SURPRISE!! T's taking me to Barcelona for my Birthday. YIPPEE!!!! I've already looked up a popular salsa club :) ME GUSTA ME GUSTA!!
More Kinnect Sports fun


The house is smelling lovely and I'm anxiously anticipating Christmas dinner.
A preview of whats to come!!
