I had lunch with my younger sister yesterday at Flat Iron Grill (my fave local resto).  Hubby was out of town/Business trip for the last 3 days so we did a lot of girly stuff!  Lunch then shopping after for some “sporty” clothes.  My sis and I have been going to the gym almost everyday (except Sundays) for the last 3 weeks and we are doing Zumba classes together. This is the first time in my life that I’m really “exercising” HA!. It’s not a new year’s resolution, it’s just that I’ve been wanting to take Zumba for a while now and no more excuses for me not to do it:)

We had a nice NYE celebration at home! We had my inlaws and  our friends. 2011 was one challenging year for me! I’m grateful for the year 2011, but I’m so glad that it’s over and I’m just looking forward to our 2012!!! Here’s some photos of our NYE celebration.

I had a nice Christmas with my husband’s family.  We enjoyed yummy seafood like crabs, lobster, shrimp, oysters and also everybody’s fave the Cheese fondue!  It was my husband who took care of that, he prepared cheddar and gruyere cheese fondue!  It was such a hit!  I think we’ll probably have fondue again next Christmas:)  Santa (husband) spoiled me this Christmas because he gave me an LV bag.  He said I’ve been nice this year(LOL!).  We also spent Christmas eve with my husband’s family(Aunties, cousins, Grandmother) and opened white elephant gifts. All in all, it was a great weekend with family, food, movies, gifts and most specially celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!

We had a nice weekend with lots of food and movies, shopping for Christmas gifts, watched Christmas decors/lights and I’m finally done with our Christmas decorations so we are just enjoying our lovely house:)

Here’s  the pictures that Hubby took in our house this week, I just used old Christmas decorations that we had already and “styled” it the same way like last year:)

Lately, I’ve been writing a lot of “To Do” lists around the house because I really want to enjoy the holiday season as stress free as possible!  I feel so productive whenever I cross items off of my lists.  It’s also fun to share with my family and friends what we’ve been up to and what we’re gonna be doing for the coming weeks:) Here’s our random lists:

-Attend Christmas Eve/Day service

We had this scampi dish last month, but we had a hectic schedule last month with our birthdays and Thanksgiving and I forgot to post these yummy pics and recipe.  This is the same scampi recipe that I did yesterday (Racheal Rays). I used tiger prawns and instead of pasta we had garlic bread to accompany these succulent prawns!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my Parent In-law’s house.  As usual the food was great and it was fun to spend some time with my husband’s family:) We prepared a green bean casserole and a cheese plater!

Today is my husband’s birthday! Happy Birthday Ga, Thank You for everything! You’re the best:) We love you!!

Happy Thanksgiving All!!  Every day I thank God for all He has given me:) I’m truly blessed and I do not take that for granted.  I’m so grateful for:

1.)The knowledge of Jesus Christ, accepting Him and for that my life is forever changed!

2.) My husband

3.) Family
