Due to the insane amount of snow in NYC today, I'm trapped at home against my will. (I actually had to cancel an appointment I was really looking forward to!)
this is the second and third floor! i dont even want to venture to the first.
I'm happy to report Christmas went off without a hitch and a good time was had by all. (at least by me) I am the worlds worst photographer when it comes to shooting during a party - I prefer to enjoy rather than snap away - so I dont have much to share except this quick family portrait (one of is partaking against his will - can you guess which?) and a few food photos.
If you are wondering, I made the eggnog cake recommended by Amy and it was a big hit. (Its the igloo one). The angel food cake didn't go over so well - I dont think I made it right. Chocolate cheesecake and truffles were shared by my brothers girlfriend who is a fabulous baker.
Santa brought me a ton of fabulous gifts that Im excited to put to use and share on the blog.
Other than that, its going to be a very lazy day stuck inside. What are you doing today?
Oh, you are so lucky. We got hardly any snow this Christmas in the midwest. :(
ReplyDeleteI am at work until Thursday, have off on Friday.
It is only December and I am already tired of snow. It looks like you had a lovely holiday. Try to stay warm in NY:)

so jealous!! I've always wanted to be "trapped inside by a blizzard"...maybe thats a little dramatic..but I think it'd be so romantic! xoxo
ReplyDeleteNice snow! We are due for a big storm this week, too. I love it. We never get trapped inside though, it could snow two feet and they won't even consider canceling work or school. Damn Idahoans.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about all your presents. And I'm so glad your party went off without a hitch - even though you had to do it all yourself!
We got a ton of snow in Chicago! I have this week off of work - I'm hibernating with my pup! Which means a good book, lots of blogging, cooking and possibly venturing outdoors for some yoga!

Now that's snow! Even though the weather is a tad unpredictible in Texas. I wouldn't want to be any other place. Well wishes, for the new year.
ReplyDeleteKinda jealous of the snow..there is nothing more fun. Enjoy - hope you can reschedule your appointment :)
ReplyDeleteIt IS some crazy snow- right? Im loving it though...we shall see how I feel by the end of January:) Those desserts looked delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI have gotta try that eggnog cake recipe, it looks so good! Love all of the pictures!

Happy New Year!

It's up to your knees out there!! Love the pictures! We only have about 4 inches here in Chicago. We went to the zoo today and looked at an old house that needs lots of love and money, just testing out the market in my favorite neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, stephanie! Oh how I wish we had more snow! & your desserts look delish! You always throw nice gatherings!
ReplyDeleteThat snow is insane!! Have fun staying in :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun on Christmas, that food looks so yummy! I'm sorry you had to cancel your appt but I'm a lil jealous we didn't get more snow here (in Maryland) I was hoping, crossing my fingers and all my toes but nope, had to go to work today...
ReplyDeleteI titled my post the same today...lol Im in New Jersey so I guess the tri-state area is thinking the same thing! UGH!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I see that your desserts went over fabulously and happy Santa was nice to you!
Im snowed in with the children and knitting my accessory line tonight (i know sooooo exciting)
Happy Holidays!
Merry chrissy to you :) I'm experiencing the exact opposite and stuck inside to avoid the heat its a sweltering 40 degrees outside. Im relaxing under the air con, flicking through magazines and watching daytime tv!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you enjoy the snow! We love love love your blog! Stay warm and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWe are doing a dayum good job of PRETENDING we are snowed in. Flannel PJ's for days on end fleece slippers...games of monopoly that go on and on and on.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas looks phenomenal!
AMAZING. jealousy from here in the southern tropics of Alabama! ;)
ReplyDeletei just posted a shot of my aunt linda's famous eggnog cake she makes in the shape of a cathedral--aren't they delicious? glad it turned out!
ReplyDeleteWe made the mistake of driving to the shore in the snowstorm the day after Christmas....and we just got plowed out yesterday. :-/ So instead of being productive on my week "off" I shoveled, complained, posted endless photos to facebook, shoveled some more, and wrote emails to elected officials. So in answer to your question, I believe I lost my mind while stuck inside. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can not believe that that is the second and third floor! YIKES! I lived through my first real winter in Cincinnati last year and we then move back south to SC and guess what? SNOW! A couple of inches and it was pretty. I really enjoyed it because I knew that two days later, the sun would be out and the snow would be melting. LOL!
