on Christmas Eve

today is the last day of our advent calendar ... and the last activity : dipping marshmallows in chocolate.

some of them will be for us, some of them will be for gifting to the grandmas & grandpas :)

just melted chocolate (the one for baking) with a dash of butter, in the microwave. Stirred a couple of times, and then the boys used wooden toothpicks, and (I know, I wish I had handmade them but I never tried & didn't have the time to homemake them) used them for dipping the marshmallows in the melted chocolate. For some of them, I used my (clean, obviously) finger to cover the whole piece. And placed the whole things on parchment paper. They're drying as I'm typing.

the wind is furious here today, such a blustery day indeed. Thank goodness we had to stay indoors, and get the apartment back into order, shape & reasonnable cleanliness. (ahem) My parents & inlaws will be here tomorrow, as well as my brother-in-law and my niece.

we will be home at (almost) all times, during these vacations, so I'll be around at (almost) all times too. I may take a little blog break, if I'm not inspired to blog, then I won't blog. But I may be inspired, so I may be around this place too. Anyway ...

I want to wish you all, wonderful ladies, very cozy Christmas celebrations, with your loved ones !!! If you're planning to make a blog break, then have happy & safe celebrations, too.

thank you so very much for all of your wonderful, caring, supporting comments this year, they have meant the world to me, and more than once they were very helpful to me. May 2011 be the most amazing year ever !!!

with love,
xoxo
