Every year we take a family photo by our Christmas tree and this year we did the same thing. And we are more excited to spend this year’s holiday with our precious newborn Sophia. So before heading out to eat our simple Christmas dinner, munching on yummy chocolate bark and opening more presents, our family of 4 posed for the camera for the annual Christmas photo shoot at home. Our theme for this year was rich plum. I couldn’t find a matching plum outfit for my girls as we were really in a hurry so I got a spaghetti strap dress for Alyssa and a short sleeve dress for Sophia. I took an extra effort this year by curling my hair and hubby is wearing his usual corporate attire for this year’s photo shoot.

From our family to yours, Happy Holidays everyone!

Take your pick!!!

Start your year with fab scent and why not start with a new smell? Give a Betty Jackson black votive candle that smells like a beautiful jasmine fragrance. A Michael Aram triple wick candles have an estimated 60 hour burn time and comes with a fig leaf, pine cone or black orchid scent. Agraria Mediterranean Jasmine crystal cane candle has an exquisite new packaging and now in a petite 3.4oz sice has a burn time of 25 hours. Juicy Couture Keepsake candle tuberose is a decadent scent of tuberose ensconced in a collectible ceramic holder. Jo Malone Grapefruit travel candle will help create the perfect ambiance in any room. And for the that holiday feel, this Slatkin & Co Winter Night filled candle has that bright moonlight and distant fire crisp, winter night – fir tree, warm cypress and clove bud blend perfectly with cedar and a touch of incense. And lastly a refreshing mix of spearmint and mandarin, layered with iced peppermint, vanilla extract and sugar musk scent can be found in this Twisted Peppermint filled candle also by Slatkin & Co. Now it’s time for me to look for some affordable sieves.
