Christmas dinner at Bill and Rosie Beaucoup’s house. Don’t worry, we wore stretchy pants. Every day.

Christmas village 2018.

Spent 15 minutes searching our house for Dorey one night. Finally found her when we turned the tree lights on.

Stormy night.

Niles + tissue paper + box = pure joy.

My nieces and nephew always give me the most squeal-inducing gifts.

Heart disease compliments of Rosie Beaucoup.

Artsy snapshot of our Christmas tree. Not pictured: the mess that has been our house for a week straight.

My brother sent this photo – hands down my favourite of the season. Behold my wee nephew, Christmassed out on December 21. I feel ya, buddy. I feel ya.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Behold, my week in cakes. (Because I suspect many of you enjoy looking at photos of sweets more than actually baking the sweets.)

And possibly my favourite: the LionBear Smash Cake.

In case you’re feeling productive:

Swiss meringue buttercream (the addition of melted and cooled chocolate makes the most divine chocolate frosting on the planet)
easy chocolate cupcakes
how to pipe petals on cupcakes
make a pumpkin carriage cake topper

happy new year

We spent the better part of the afternoon at Ironwood Farm’s Lamb Roast 2013. The farm suffered some tragic losses as summer came to a close – losses shared by their employees, community, family and friends. We were all too happy to join Heather and Rupert in celebrating the harvest and changing of seasons, and to bear witness to the many, many people who hold Ironwood Farm near and dear to their hearts.
