Finally here. Today was my first day off and besides sleeping in, binge-watching Netflix, taking a bath, walking Sammy and having a nap, I did nothing impressing with my time. I was so tired I though I’d never get better. But indulging yourself half a day can work wonders and I now made my first batch of sugarcoated almonds and I’m on to making dinner soon enough. Yesterday we had guests, so I put together some nice French cheese, crackers, marmalade and roasted chestnuts. For mains we had reindeer and truffles with coffee for dessert. I’ll be sure to blog about the reindeer sometime soon, ’cause it was the bomb! 😉

Found some vintage Xmas decoration in a thrift store, since mine is still laying around in the storage boxes somewhere in the universe. 😉

Smoochies were in order, especially since Sammy looked like a marshmallow, as someone pointed out to us. 😉

Mr. Franck, always in pain and in need of a massage. 😉 Poor fellow!

Merry Christmas!
