My husband just got a new cell phone. It takes pictures.
Seems normal to you, I’m sure. Not to us. Our previous two cell phones were about eight years old, and on pay-as-you-go plans. I’m not a big fan of talking on the phone. I’d much rather talk over a cup of tea.Inspired by Lindsey, however, I have used the new cell phone to do a bit of a photographic week in review.
Here’s what I managed to capture…some everyday inspirations.
 |
| My husband made a delicious curry yesterday, from Robin Robertson’s Vegan Planet. |
 |
| Everyone got a little something sweet in their Christmas stockings…and I don’t mean the clementine in the toe. Here’s the kids’ candy stash. |
 |
| The grown-ups have a candy stash too. We haven’t used much because we are too busy eating Christmas cookies. |
 |
| I made another banana bread today. With eight kids in and out of the house, it didn’t last long. My niece liked it. She said banana bread usually makes her gag. She had a second piece. |
 |
My daughter had the rare opportunity to play games with three of her female cousins today. So cute. |
 |
| My husband took five kids skating. Brave man. |
 |
| I made some pasta while they were gone skating, along with Nonna’s peas and mushrooms. |
 |
| For dessert, I made some “classic chocolate chip cookies” from How it All Vegan. I used chocolate chunks for a change. Yes, I made dessert, even with a bunch of Christmas cookies still in the freezer and a candy stash in the pantry. I can’t be stopped. |
 |
I am not generally a snow lover, but it does make the front path look pretty. |
 |
The trees are wearing fur coats. |
 |
| Our family room looks so cozy with the Christmas tree. If only we could actually sit down. You’ll see that there’s a book on the table. It almost looks like people read here…but the kids won’t allow that. My husband tried today (while I just knowingly smiled), until the banging in the basement got too loud to ignore. Have a great New Year’s Eve! |
Aw, what heart-warming photos! Love this. :) Hope your holiday was just as beautiful and fun and you've made it look.
