Happy 2015

Wait!

I can't believe it is the last day of 2014 already, but at the same time, I can't wait for 2015. Despite three of us were all sick on Christmas week (real bummer, hope we didn't pass the cold virus to Santa), our holiday this year couldn't get any merrier. Fortune enough, we're still manage to check off most of the must-dos on our end-of-year action plan as soon as we bounced back from the cold, yay! To recapitulate the highlights from our holiday celebration, I pick 15 pics, also to welcome 20"15"...


#1 We built our very first Gingerbread House from scratch, architect at heart :p


#2


#3 That's Chocolate, yup, Chloe finally gets to taste a little bit of that. It's holiday seasons, I close two eyes lah.


#4 Unwrapping presents on Christmas Day, down with a cold but still very happy :)


#5


#6 Wine tasting in Castello di Amorosa, Napa.


#7 It was a chilly day, around 8'C.


#8 Alcohol!!! That's what holiday is all about :p


#9 And good foods, of course. Dining at Bouchon by Thomas Keller. All the dishes were super palatable, even the picky Miss Chloe agreed!


#10 It was our lucky day! We managed to catch the last carriage ride after the dinner. A truly unforgettable holiday experience!


#11 Union Square during the Holidays.


#12 She got a little upset because I promised to take her ice-skating (T___T) It was toooooo crowded baby, too packed.


#13 Galloping and prancing while waiting for the Noon Year's Eve countdown. Love this one, taken today, fresh from the oven~


#14 W.E.F.I.E of the day \(*^__^*)/


#15 Last pic of this post, also for 2014. My baby watching the 3D Nutcracker light show under the dome while waiting for the foods at one of our all-time favorite restaurants in town.

Then my baby walked up to me and said, "Happy New Year Mama! Thank you Mama, Chloe is very happy! I'm excited!" I think that pretty much summed up my "performance review" in 2014, lol...

I'm so so so thankful for 2014, utterly grateful for the smooth ride over the past 365 days and all the memorable moments we created with our loved ones, families and friends, that give me strength and courage to hug 2015 with more love, more kindness, more compassion, more patience, more acceptance, more ingenuity ❤❤

You'll be missed, 2014! Dear 2015, I want to love you harder!



XOXO,
Bev

It's all good

你常说 ，怎么还像个孩子，总是活在自己的世界里。

哪有什么不好？
如果这辈子可以永远像个孩子，多好。
就因为你的好让我不用着急成长。

你常说，别老是心不在焉，想说什么就说啊。

很多的话想说，
不过一开口的刹那又被沉默诅咒，多难。
就因为每次说了之后又被当小孩看待。

你常说，伤神又多余的事情不要去费心。
可是费心的事，
多半是我各自伤神而你在叹息，多余。
就因为没经你核实的悲伤是多愁善感。

那天刚好，
天上飘着的毛毛细雨没被你挡着，
一丝一丝地落到我的发梢，
湿了头发，红了眼眶。
我忘了告诉你，喧哗过后的那一片寂静，

我在你的眼睛里看到了自己，
原来你爱的我是长那样子的，多美。

可你却说，在我的眼里你找不到自己。

该怎么说呢亲爱的，
如果你用真心去感受，
你其实一直就住在我的心里，多深。

有一种爱学会放手后会更懂得去爱，
有一种思念懂得心痛的感觉后会更想念。
人生只有在活出了自己之后才会精彩。
倘若我不在自己的世界里过好，怎么还有资格到你的世界里插一脚？

但这一生，我最终想要追求的，
不是轰轰烈烈或凄美的爱情，是你。
所以在我的世界里，一切一切，都很好。
因为我爱过你，我爱着你。
