Thanks for the germs!

When it comes to getting sick and having the flu I have to say 2012 is been a good year to me. Well, up until 2 days ago when my body couldn't handle the holiday germs anymore and now I've been in bed sick as a dog. Fever, chills, cold sweats, stomach aches, cough and even sinus infection.... Got the whole package. Ugh! If only I can get rid of this before the end of year, dont wanna start 2013 lacking on the health department. Hope everybody is having a great weekend or at least feeling better than me!

Friendship, Cheer & Joy

I think that the Holiday Season mainly has meaning if spend with loved ones. Family is essential but when there's distances between them, friends are always the next best thing.

Although I do have family on the island (my husband and pets), this Christmas was filled with friendship cheer and joy.

On Christmas we had a friend-full day, after opening gifts and getting this beauty from my "Santa Baby"

we went to Brunch with a bunch of our friends... So it was a day filled with good friends, good food and lots of friendship plus it was a gorgeous day!!!

all of us!

Then we had our "Pink" gift exchange in honor our friend Jo (Our Cancer-Free Friend!).

After the brunch, we relaxed for a couple of hours and then it was off the Dinner at some other friends... Will share some of those pictures tomorrow.

Hoping everybody had a wonderful Holiday and that you make the most out of the last days of the year... And then is 2013!!!

Today is my post #1001, yey!!!!

Christmas Cayman Style

When it comes to Christmas light displays there are two places on the islands that go full on with the whole deal, in fact it's something pretty extraordinary and people drive at night to visit them and take photos.

On Saturday night we stopped at one of those places (very briefly) to take some photos, hopefully I will be able to stop by the other before the New Year (although it's much more out of the way for us, so not sure it will happen).

Anyway, here are a few photos of the one we visited on Saturday... ( Please don't even try to imagine what their power bill is when Christmas is done, ouch!).

They also have a Nativity Set and some animated caroling set, kinds of spooky if you ask me!
 

Wish we've had a bit more time to stay longer and take more and better pictures, but this would do for now...

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Work Party

Weather is pretty windy out from yesterday and in fact it's kinda of chilly for us, last night it was 74 degrees, imagine that! LOL...

I bet all of you that live in the North and are reading this are laughing, but really to us that is chilly!

Last night we had my work Christmas party. First we went bowling to the only bowling ally we have on the island, it's a little 4 lane one, that was fun (although I literally suck at it!)... Then off to dinner at a fancy restaurant (The Cracked Conch), it was nice!

I didn't take many pictures at all but we did have a great time.

Also in between the bowling alley and the restaurant we stopped to see the Christmas lights display at a local house that goes FULL on... I have lots of pictures to share tomorrow, you will be amazed!

Happy Sunday!
