Christmas 2013

Again I'm so delayed in posting! I hope everyone is having a great new year so far (can't believe we're nearly one month down). This morning I finally took down the Christmas tree - I normally take it down after new year's day but a friend of ours couldn't make it for dinner until this month. So I kept it just for them!

It's always a sad time taking the tree down. I'm reminded of how fast time keeps passing and how short our lives really are. Is this a sign of age? I just turned 29 a few days ago!

Anyhow for Christmas I baked some treats as always. "Red Velvet" flavoured and Green "Snickers" flavoured macarons, red velvet cupcakes, Christmas shortbreads and m&m cookies.
