This was THE GOOD one among "The good, the bad and the ugly" snowdays in the winter. Snow crystals glittered under the perfect sunny blue sky. The nature was frosted with snow confetti, so smooth and calm.
Walking under the shades of overhanging trees, as the breeze blew through the snow swirled softly from the branches and landed onto the hair, shoulder, and ground. Chin up with open arms, mersmerizing the beauty of these magical moments.
The day after Christmas, we had an awesome ride on the steam engine caboose taking us through a delightful holiday light display. Completely swept away by the blast of the whistle and puffing steam hissing out of the engine, we sit back and felt the magic. 
It's hard not to feel the Christmas sprit when the little one started singing "Jingle Bell" and "We wish you a Merry Christmas" since weeks before Christmas. She always ended the "Jingle Bell" song with a powerful tone of "HEY", so loud that it almost burst our eardrum. But hey, that's how the Christmas spirit hit you, well I meant us, at home.
Elle woke up to a magical Christmas morning, escatic about Santa left more presents for her while she was asleep. After breakfast, she rushed to the tree couldn't wait opening all the presents. With Oohs and Aahs admist the sounds of tearing papers, she was over the moon for all the toys Santa gave her. 
She couldn't wait changing into her princess outfit, swirling her magic wand in the air turning papa into a beast and mama into a princess just like her.
The sushi cooking set seemed to bring out the best in humor. Hin chuckled, "WHAT! SUSHI!" when seeing it unfolded. Elle was a great iron chef praticing cutting the sushi with a giant chop knife.
Elle was so excited about our neighbor across the street gave her a Christmas gift. It's a gumball machine which she called it as "My Trophy". She scurried around finding her money box so that she could put coin inside her "trophy" getting the candies out.
Our little princess chef cooking up a storm in her tinkerbell kitchen. She prepared a whole spread of yummilicious for the pinic.
There had been a lot of baking going on in our home during the holiday season. On top of baking, we had fun making Christmas decorations, putting up our Christmas trees and sprucing them up with ornaments.
These two little girls got together making some yummy cookies. Well, they were more interested in playing together though. After a little while, they fled off and left the moms doing most of the baking. When the cookies came out of the oven, they kept popping into the kitchen snatching the cookies off the table.
Making gingerbread house with graham crackers! Man, it's a pain to have all the pieces held together while decorating it. The house kept collapsing. Lesson learned: "Glue" all pieces together and let it set a day before decorating. Our little decorator couldn't resist squeezing icing into her mouth!
Our gingerbread man family. How sweet of Elle asking mama to make one for her pink bear too.
Elle invited her friends over celebrating Christmas together. Before the party, I put the presents under the tree during her nap time. It took her a while to discover the presents after waking up from her nap. The moment she took a glimpse of the tree, she jumped on her feet pointing her finger at the tree and shrilled in joy, "Mama! See! There's something under the tree!". "Santa left the present for me and my friends when I was asleep.", she said.
Dear Elle,
Snow! Snow! Let it snow! You dig in the snow giggling happily as if you were a polar bear in your last life. Watching you laying in the snow shoveling white fluffies inside the bucket reminds mama of summertime you were on the beach.
You jump, stomp, messing the smooth blanket of snow in our front yard. Oh boy, it's hilarious to see you rolling on the cold icy driveway and inching on your tummy like an inchworm.
You and mama teamed up had a snow ball fight against papa. You barked, "Destroy!" as we chased after our target.
That day mama asked you what else you wanted for Christmas. You blurted out a whole slew of things, wishing for a pink heater, a pink kitchen, pink windows, pink mama, pink papa, and pink baby. All PINK!
When you need comfort, you say: "I need a huggie."
Love,
Mama
