instagr.am { the month of december }

The last instagram round-up of 2011!

December was a busy, happy, stressful blur…

{ Have you ever planned a progressive-progressive dinner? Tons of fun…. tons of work. }

{ Our first Heidelberg die-cutting experience. And yes, why haven’t we done this sooner? }

{ Apparently letterpress is not the only type of “impression” I like to make. Metal gift tag stamping. }

{ Boy and broom. As a friend said, maybe he’s waiting to sweep up fallen needles? }

{ Our annual Handel’s Messiah tradition. At the Mondavi Center. }

{ In which I nearly, nearly run out of gas in a deserted location. }

{ Cameron and  friend. }

{ Ever wonder what deep thoughts look like? Look no further than Matt Tennis at Scrabble. }

{ And, no, it’s not Greek, it’s an archaic Scrabble cheat sheet. }

{ Somebody learned to play with blocks this month. Yay! A new activity besides food! }

{ Christmas morning candy-cane bliss. }

{ Beef stew and the Boy. }

{ Two types of homemade french fries = must be our New Year’s Eve-eve crab feed. }

{ More food. This time a glorious pork roast for New Year’s Eve. Thanks Rachie! }

{ And lastly… ringing in 2012. At 8:30 pm. When you have 6 young children on New Year’s eve, midnight comes a tad earlier in the evening. }

That’s it for instagram 2011, folks! Here’s to 2012 and more photo-journaling!

Hope you are having a fantastic New Year.

PS If you haven’t tried using your phone’s camera as a mini-photo journal, you really should.
