celebrations: week 2 (8-14 jan 2013)

As I wrote in resolutions and traditions and celebrations, oh my1 , we’re taking a little more time for celebrations. The girls love them, and having a guide helps me try out new recipes and do more off-line crafts.

This week, we managed to celebrate a few “holidays” even with the chaos of some real estate transactions that maybe I’ll talk about soon, if all goes well… I list more activities and recipes on the celebrations page, but here’s a record of how we celebrated… I wish I had gotten more photos!!
