2012 Holiday Moments

The holidays came and went, and I can't believe we're already well into the new year! I hope  the end of 2012 was a joyous, peaceful and restful time for everyone. My aunt came to visit from the UK so my household was filled with even more cooking, eating, and holiday cheer than usual. Here are some moments from the month of December. 

 Anyone fancy a horse-drawn carriage ride in the city? 

The tree in Faneuil Hall, Boston. Every night there was a spectacular light show accompanied by music by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, I believe. 

Gift for my aunt: a cowl scarf that I knit. It's made of Cascade 128 yarn in the color Doeskin Twist, and it's 100% Peruvian Highland Wool. The lilac scented soap was one I picked up from the flower market on my trip to Nice this past summer. Scrap yarn for tying up the gift and a hand-written note add an additional DIY touch! 

Gingerbread cookies from a KinCommunity recipe - great for gifts or Santa! I decorated them with raisins (which turned out looking like aliens) and chocolate chips.
