How was every body's Christmas! Well the Mistress spent a lovely time with her even more colorful family. It was nice to see alot of my aunt and uncle's family and we enjoyed our traditional cosmopolitans and roast beef dinner with Yorkshire Pudding. I'm sure I over ate. And for dessert my uncle is famous for his delish, mind altering egg nog! Between the cosmos, the red wine with dinner, and the egg nog, we were one loud family, and a few of us even danced with lampshades on our heads, to the dismay of my aunt! Needless to say, everybody slept like babies from what I understand. And my mother and aunt even gave me some old photos of my great grandparents who I had never seen before on my mom's side. Very cool and thoughtful gifts that I'll always treasure. But yesterday was fun as the Mistress took off early due to the snow storm that gripped the east! I guess the Snow Miser decided we needed to get ours! I get very nervous in snow while driving. I can handle just fine, it's the others that worry me so. So I hooked up the moose and took the sleigh instead!!!!! So, the Mistress in currently enjoying a day off with a blanket, candles and so left over egg nog to keep warm. And speaking of cold, snow and ice check out these in demand ice sculptors. Father and son team, Takeo and Shintaro Okamoto, of Okamoto Studios. How amazing are these?
Another thing that is amazing is that ice sculptor, Shintaro Okamoto has also created a fabulous collection of ice bowls for reception tables for cold foods to stay cold. How genius and stunning to look at. I so want one.
Excuse me now. I think I need to go find a warm sweater to put on after seeing these. Tootles!
