New Year

So... New Year's coming, and I actually want 2010 to be over, finally! On friday Nico and I are going to his parents' house in the country. This week it's been more than 90º F everyday down here, so we can't wait to get out of the concrete jungle and jump into the pool. I'm making Lemon Pie for dessert on Christmas Eve and we're giving Nico's 6 months old nephew a tiny "swimming pool" for himself (I can't wait to see his face in there!). Hopefully, it will be a nice, quiet weekend outdoors.

On December 31st we're going to my parents', and I'm sure that won't be quiet! We're almost 20 people in my close family (my parents, sisters, nieces, nephews and brothers in law), plus some aunts, uncles and cousins with their children that are coming for the ocassion. As always, I'm in charge of the decorations, so I'll show you the things that are inspiring me right now. I wanted a fresh, airy theme, and I thought green, white and gold would be a great combo. Oh! I already made some DIY candle holders with  glass jars and golden thread and I'll be making mojitos to refresh everybody's throats after a lot of chatting. I'll show you the pictures next year! :P

Well, that's it, I guess I'll be back to posting in 2011, as the next few days will involve a lot of office work, packing, last minute shopping and stuff.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas, surrounded by friends, family, and whoever you love, and hope we all start the New Year with the right foot. Besos!!!!
