Project Life 2015

December 19

After all those traveling with our visitors, it is nice to have a day that we do nothing, mom make more dumplings, we all love her dumplings.

December 20

I did a little bit of shopping with my sister, she just crazy over TJ max, we visited a few while she is here.
In the evening, we had dinner at Hot and Juicy and then we all went to the Strips, Jesse got a cupcake from the cupcake ATM at LINQ.

December 21

We left early for a road trip to Grand Canyon

six of us and Papillon

it is cold, the walkway is icy and wet, hmmmm... probably not the best time to visit Grand Canyon, but since I thought my guests from Singapore and NYC could have just this chance, so we did.

papi's nail broke and was bleeding a bit, it didn't seem to bother him though because he still walk the same way as though it was nothing, but Dolce won't let him walk and insisted on carrying him all the way, what a pampered little dog and he is 15 lbs, not really a small dog.

we found a snowman on our way out, a cute one.

 

Winter Wonderland and a Thank You Card

Hello friends, I know this space has been quiet the past few days, so not me. My family is here, Dolce got home last night, the house is full of people and I am busy baking, cooking, and sightseeing, so blogging has to give in. I do have a few pictures we took early this week at Yosemite National Park, it is beautiful there in the winter......

Papi is having so much fun in the snow

wild life everywhere, even at the parking lot

Well, even though I don't have time in the craft room AT ALL, I do have a thank you card I made a while ago to share....

I know, it is so Spring, I probably made this months ago

this is the time to do some "winter cleaning" on my laptop.

.................

Christmas is around the corner, I do hope that you stay warm and save, and your days are filled with lots of love and laughter!

Our Beautiful World 79 ~ Wintery

Our Beautiful World

is a place where you can share the beauty of the world through your lens, we have a weekly theme, this week is....

WINTERY

I took this picture at Vail, CO in November, when we were driving back after a road trip to Iowa and were stuck in the snow storm.

the drive was painful because we can only drive 5 miles/hour due to icy road condition, however, the scenery outside the is beautiful.

We don't really have winter here in Las Vegas, but it is really cold here first week of January, our fountain at our backyard actually freeze.....

that doesn't stop my little explorer from sniffing around and checking out the area though

and it last only 2 days, once the sun comes out, everything is back to normal, oh how I love to live in a place where this is winter!

Check out the team at

Our Beautiful World
