- Christmas time has been an exhausting time this year. I wish this month would last longer so I can actually truly enjoy the season, instead of running around like a chicken with her head cut off.
- Have I mentioned how much I sill love this time of year? A LOT! And all the decor that comes with it. And the food! And when you combine it, it equals perfection. My dinning room table is all set and ready for Christmas day.
- My camera has taken a turn for the worse a couple of months ago, and I am beyond sad. It may have something to do with the fact that both Giada and I have dropped it a few (dozen?) times. I have to take 25 different shots of the same object, in order to get one that does not have a rainbow running across it. Not being able to take pictures is kind of, well, depressing.
- Dear Santa, fix my camera. Please.
- Speaking of Santa, people have been asking how we'll address this subject with Giada. I think we're not addressing it either way. At this point in time I don't tell her about Santa, but I also don't avoid it. For example, I don't encourage her to go sit in his lap, bc to me that's just creepy, but if we see him around the mall and he's saying 'hi' I do tell her "Say hi to Santa." I love the creativity and imagination that kids get to experience, I am just not crazy about lying to her. When I was growing up, my family was telling me about Santa, but I remember being 3yrs old and knowing he was not real bc I kept on seeing his beard coming off. I kind of hope my kids will be smart enough to put two and two together as well.
- I got a KitchenAid mixer for my birthday from one set of my in-laws, and I feel like I'm developing an inappropriate relationship with this machine. I am in LOVE with it. It may even cure my very bad case of the 'worst-baker-in-the-whole-wide-world syndrome.' Ok, so maybe it's not a miracle worker, but I'm still in love with it.
- We're almost approaching the eve of Christmas, and I'm still not even half way done buying presents. This family is hard to shop for yo! Oy.
- And of course I couldn't leave without a picture of my favorite child. This kid turns into a total zombie when 'Olivia' the pig comes on. It's about the only show she'll watch too. Let me tell you, if I never had to see another swine in my life, it wouldn't be too soon. At the same time, I'm happy that there is something that can keep her distracted long enough so I can run and pee in peace.
And that concluded my randomness.
Happy case of the Mondays!

thats so sad about your camera!! :( i wish this month would last longer too!! love this time of year!
happy monday!
I want a KitchenAid so bad! But (I don't know in the States) they are extremely expensive here in Spain.
I'm planning to steal my mom's KitchenAid after Christmas (muahahaha)
hahah, when people gave me a hard time about ANika sitting on a girls lap (The stranger) I compared it to Santa and how HE IS A STRANGER too! but I see I cant use that logic with you, since you think he is a creep too. ew, and imagine all the germs on him! We went to Santa's village in my parents town this year and we went on the FIRST night and were close to the first ones there so I could know his costume was clean :)
Once you tire of your love affair with your mixer, just know...you have my address.
Make sure Santa doesn't just fix your camera but brings you a new one!! B should be already on top of this. ;)
You know we never grew up believing in Santa. My parents were big into having us know what the true meaning was. We would still joke around and get gifts from 'santa' even though we knew but we never sat on his lap or thought he was the purpose. And I prefer it that way.

I also dropped and badly injured my camera...so sad especially at Christmas time!
I love my Kitchemaid mixer too...I'm sure my husband would like it if I used it more. Look that big girl in those pics!
I am pretty much in love with your dishes! And I feel ya about wanting time to enjoy this season...why oh why is it SO hectic this year?!
Love your place setting! So cute and Christmasy!
I hope that Santa fixes your camera for you! We need the great pics!
Amen to the KitchenAid mixer.
What is it with children getting obsessed with one single show they want to watch over and over??! I wonder when they start to appreciate variety as the spice of life (then again, I can't blame too much considering how many times I've watched Pride and Prejudice...)
Sounds like an awesome weekend. And if your camera is broke, how do you still get amazing photo's? Blessings from Miscellany Monday. Merry Christmas.
that sucks about your camera! My phone has been on the fritz lately too, because I dropped it (shaaaame). I hope I can get it fixed for free since I have the "insurance" or whatever on it.
oh my precious! Giada looks gorgeous, as always!!! i hear you on the busy season. half of me likes it, the other half wishes it was slower so i could soak it all in. Merry Christmas, dear Tatiana!
ah no fun having camera malfunctions! and lil g--she is always the cutest little model--love her--and this time of year!
Hopefully santa, er, brandon brings you a new camera for Christmas! And where are the post about all the amazing miracles the mixer is doing?! :)
My kid has that same shirt! My kid also turns into a zombie for The Wiggles, so I feel like they'd get along great. :)
