New Year's Eve: Science Museum

B likes the Science Museum. We went there with 2 other families today. But husband's wish for a New Year Eve's party fell flat.

i don't know why my face was shiny in the picture. i think i am going to blame it on my dirty lenses. haha..

the Dior riding boots are my new buys.

B and husband were instantly sucked into this new Kinex thing in the museum.

except Kinex, Reptile exhibit is new too...

i love watching them building things together.

what a cool turtle that was!

B was happy to play with friends. he loves other kids.

a pretty girl works in the museum. 

put a mouse bone beside the python bone, B had a good idea how big a python is, and how many bones a python has...

I made a windmill with Kinex. and i was allowed to take it home! yay!!

Movie Date

We watched Black Swan. Then, guess what, we went to the mall again!

Linlin was wearing her Saks After xmas sale loots: Moncler coat and MJ bag. I was carrying my new coat: a grey toggle button wool coat by Cole Haan. J was wearing her red hot boots.

Anniversary

we toasted our 9th Anniversary today at The Palm.

Today is also one of my friend's wedding. Too bad, we could not be there for her. Wish her the best at a spectacular Indian wedding in Mumbai.

that was me with a not-so-happy face.  B always looks good in pictures. Husband never forgets smiling in the pictures. 

desert time!  is that why they are so sweet?

he likes a good piece of steak.

i like a good piece of cheesecake

...and red wine

my seared ahi tuna

...and Monday Night salad with some raw anchovy in it. 

i got some raw seafood in my belly tonight. so far, no belly ache.

Xmas Buffet at Cafe Fleuri

We had a holiday gathering at one of my favorite places, Cafe Fleuri in Langham Hotel Boston.

An hour after we made home, a blizzard started...

holiday dressing requires some sequin, red, gold...

I saw a lot of ladies wearing sequin.  I had some gold ones on my sweater pocket.

I also chosea a red Zac Posen bandage knit skirt.

B had a matching brown corduroy pants with daddy. he was wearing a Burberry cashmere sweater i got 2 years ago. 

Xmas Day: Receiving Presents

Thanks to Linlin, husband and I have a pictures together now! we should do this more...

It is daddy's favorite thing to do -prepare lots of presents for his son and surprise him next morning.

i try to understand after all of these, he would give the credit to Santa Claus.   But i think B knows his doting daddy did all the work. because i can see it from his expressive eyes. he just plays along...

...and it took daddy a hour to wrap up,  it took B a few minutes to rip off.  they both enjoy this game very much.

To his parents, he worth every effort!

Merry Christmas to All

Xmas Shopping: RL Woolly Plaid

Giving friends little something on xmas is nice, no?  I don't expect gifts from others except mom and husband, one big reason is that i know i will be heading to the mall next. To Chinese, to owe friends' favor is a big deal.

Before me and B rushed to the mall, we took pictures for each other in front of xmas tree again...

I can't describe how lucky i feel having B. He is very attentive to his mommy. and he is very patient with this mommy. he is like a daughter I always dream of. but hundreds of times better in many ways.

B likes those tasty fruity warm tea in the mall.  when he is thirsty, he would go over to the tea house and 'try' some samples. hahaha...  one of these days, his mommy has to buy some tea from there.

husband likes plaid shirts very much. i get one or two per year myself.  this year, i got this woolly plaid shirt from RL Blue Label.

this picture was supposed to be the best among total 8 attempts by B, but it turned out fussy.
