a little late-december catch up before officially moving into 2012
...
we hosted christmas here
in providence-
the official christening of our sweet home
and though i didn't manage to snap too many pictures to prove it
the weekend was lovely
our mantle
decorated with handmade gingerbread houses
and fresh cut greens
christmas morning, stocking excitement!
daddio, looking dapper in his new scarf
evening light
and dinner (beef wellington, which i don't have one picture of- boo!)
was topped off with
baked alaska:
(thin flourless chocolate cake, topped with a boule of alternating layers of strawberry and pistachio ice cream, covered in piped swiss meringue and just scorched in a broiling oven)
yumm.o.
family. friends. food.
christmas perfection
