ready? set... Champagne!

We'll get there earlier than you, who are on the north american continent ;)! And tomorrow morning, I'll start the new year enjoying a "staying in bed late" moment! So I won't be up on Internet to wish you all the best for this coming 2010!

Enjoy! Be happy! Be healthy! Be wise (but not boring!)!!!!

And take care!

In between...

Between Christmas and New Year's Eve, some time to reflect on all the good things of the past year....

Thankfulness for good health, a nice family, a beautiful place to live, with cool people around (which doesn't mean that I/we don't miss you all around the world!!!!!). A satisfacting job for V, sports for him and me, good school for the kids. We're very thankful as we count our blessings!

I hope that you also had a good year, a nice celebration for Christmas, or Hannukka, and I wish you all the best for 2010! Come and comment this blog, as it's what makes it living!

PS: Let me tell you the story of this Christmas tree. I confess that I still regret the "fake" one that I had bought at Goodwill's for a mere 25$... I should have taken it along when we moved, but well... I hope at least that our followers in the house enjoyed it as much as we did!

So ours, this year, is a rented one! It's a real tree, with dirt around its roots, and it's in a pot! Funny, isn't it?

But still... it looses its needles a lot, and I'm not that fond of its look. So I'll bring it back to where it was born, and it will be replanted for the next 350 days! At least it's a positive thing... But I bought today an artificial on sale, with the (nice) decoration for next year.... And I'm glad i did it!

Winter's here!

Although it's not official yet, Winter has arrived! We had an amazing fall this year, much too hot, and all of a sudden, on Monday night, some nice snow coming. To be honest, I love snow, always did, but I'm really happy that it came this year much later than last year! I enjoyed working around the house without freezing my hands (or else!)

On Wednesday, the snow had quite melted already, but it was really cold. Hubby walked the kids to school and then took a ton of pictures of early morning colours in our area. I love living here!
