Some recent pictures

Our lovely christmas tree, decorated with every ornament we could find in the house, everything from balls and lights to ginger bread men and sugar canes. As many gifts as possible were put under it, the rest were on the side.The Ginger bread house was bought at IKEA, allready baked and in ready pieces, we put it together and decorated it with icing, M&M's, marshmallows, sugar canes etc. Really pretty!

We often light a fire in the fire place, it gets really warm and cozy.

Mary Sue, Josh, Kieran, Mary Sue's sister Chris and her family, Dick, Sarah and Julie went to a restaurant, owned by a friend of Mary Sue and had breakfast. Kieran and I had one of those delicious German apple pancakes with creme fraiche and strawberries (and maple syrup).

During the entire break, Kiearn and his friend Richard (a new made friend from across the street) were out skatebording all day long, they barely eat during the day because they wre so busy. Kieran showed me some cool tricks.

I ended up at the beach when I went for a walk. Lovely weather and the water didn't feel too cold. I definatley want to go back there soon, hang out, maybe have a picknick. Have you ever heard of Toms shoes? For every pair of shoes you buy another pair is donated to a child in need in Ethiopia. They are very simple, fabric shoes, but I love them. I've got a pair for christmas, like those in the middle of the picture. If you want a pair you can either buy them in the pop-up store on Abbot-Kinney until the end of January, or order them online. My shoe size is European 39 which is equivalent to the American 8.5.
