Welcome 2012!

This is my first post in 2012. I don't know why but it took me a while to start posting again. Okay, the little bear picture is this year's  ¨little present¨ inside the ¨El roscón de reyes¨. I love roscón cake very very much. To tell you the the truth, I ate almost three entire cakes. It's a pity that you can buy it only on the 6th of January (Magic King's day). Next time, I would learn how to make it.

We spent Christmas, as usual, in Elche at Paulita's house. She's so nice that she let me sleep in her cute bedroom with Mickey Mouse sheet and bed cover.

We celebrated Christmas at Javi's beautiful woodhouse in ¨La Romana¨ Alicante. 

This is ow so good; roasted chestnuts. Paulita, would you like some?

Having so much fun hiking...

...and the ¨paella¨ was being cooked while we were up in the mountains.

Pascual made this spectacular roasted chicken stuffed at the first day of the year. The chicken was great, the stuffed was even better and the gravy was the BEST. 

Almost Christmas

I rarely send Christmas cards and it has been ages since the last time I did it. But this year, I decided to send them to some friends. At first I was doubtful whether to buy or to make ones until I saw these gel stickers. Then for the other card, I sticked it with a little happy pack and I will fill it with cute tiny things.

Meanwhile, I took these pictures below last weekend in the city while waiting for Ana Rosa and Luzma. It was cloudy, windy and cold. When they came, we went to a café and we were exchanging stories about our stay in San Francisco and their story about their holidays in India and Peru and some other stories.

By the way, have you seen this: ¨John Lewis Christmas Advert 2011¨? This could be my favourite Christmas tv commercial. What is your favourite?

It's been a year!

It has been a year already since I wrote my very first post. In my second post, you can see me putting up the Christmas tree and here I am putting it up again for the second time. But I think, this time my tree looks better than last year. 

In Spain, the tradition is to have ¨belén¨ (nativity scene) instead of a christmas tree, although nowadays christmas trees are getting more common. You can see my small and cute ¨belén¨ above and below; Timi is so curious with the ornaments.
