Christmas Shopping

The month of December comes with many little fun things to enjoy; the Christmas lights by City Hall in Toronto, The Enchanted Forest, Hot Chocolate and chocolate peppermint donuts and eggnog lattes. On Thursday I also got to experience a Christmas miracle when my husband and I had our Date Night at Jack Astor. I had a drink called the Christmas Miracle.

I did some Christmas shopping at the mall in Toronto on Thursday and now I only have 30% of the shopping left to do. My Shopping list seemed longer than ever this year and then I realized that we have four new people that have joined our family since last year so no wonder. I love that our family is getting bigger and bigger every year. Christmas is all about spending time with loved ones and the more people I get to love the better! :)

Hello Winter!

It has been unusually warm in Toronto this winter but this week it finally got a little colder. My husband is from the Caribbean and he loves a warmer winter but I'm Finnish so I've been waiting for some real winter weather for awhile now. I got what I was wishing for, this morning it was so windy and cold outside that my whole face got frozen during my morning walk and on Saturday they are promising -19 degrees Celsius.

I plan to spend my weekend enjoying some hot chocolate, one of my favorite treats during the winter season. We are also having our neighbors over for dinner on Saturday and on Sunday it's time to celebrate Valentine's Day. My husband and I are celebrating 5 years as a couple on Sunday. I can't believe it has already been five years, time goes fast when you are having fun together! :)
