of celebration, happy faces, and vsco

Aka the official new year post. I'm sorry, no list here, of things to change into, or change from, or of things to achieve, such as a definite number of books, or places to hit. Simpler, no big words here. I'm too lazy. Or discouraged. But mostly, lazy.



HERE'S TO WELCOMING MYSELF TO THE WORLD OF VSCO PHOTOGRAPHY!
Cheers!

I should properly start, for formality, with a schmabanging HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! Almost the end of the first month of the year, I am late, obviously. Anyway.

Little Elle Belle turned 9 months fourteen days ago. She's too adorable! My phone has too much photos. Of her smiling, of her wrinkling her nose, of her sitting down by her own, and very recently, of her standing up holding onto her crib. GAH I can hug this bbgurl forevs! You know there have been studies, telling parents [sort of -- I'm paraphrasing here] to avoid saying these magic words, 'You're handsome/pretty!', or any other version of it, to their kids . But heck! This little girl's such a cupcake!


As promised (we made a wittle promise to Gabe), we got them this teddy bear cake from Tous Les Jours. And being *cough* crafty, I made this topper (I made the layout using MS Word, printed it on paper, cut and taped it to two candlesticks). TADAH! I am feeling too proud for something too, uhm, plain.


Gabe to the rescue! He loves this part, candle blowing, for some reason. Ya know. Kids.


Here are photos from Christmas night. I made them wear matching teddy bear pajamas. We had hot coco, opened the gifts, it was really fun actually! It was our first Christmas in our very own house, and we were too excited, my husband and I, and we thought 'we should make our own Christmas tradition'. And I suggested (husband got no choice), MATCHING PAJAMAS AND HOT COCO. And watching Disney movies while waiting for the clock to strike twelve.


I took photos everyday, but these got to be my favorite out of (way lot of) bunch! My husband, when he was still my boyfriend, gave me this hat, because I was known to like cute stuff and bears, specifically panda bears, so he got me the hat from his Hong Kong trip, and I thought it was the cutest thing ever, until I got my kids that is!



Gabe has his fair share of photos. Mostly, consists of hugging and/or kissing his little sister.


And funny faces. A lot of funny faces. Oh Batman, I mean Gabe!


And because I kind of said I would show the house, our new and very much our own house! Tadah! Here's part of the living room. (While watching American Idol on Star World) So white and empty, eh? I don't know what to do with the walls! HELP!







That's it.
HAPPY 2014 YOU GUYS!
Be merry. Love deeply. And rock this year to fullest!
