Capturing December - Day 27 : Night time

I noticed that December is all gone, but I've made all the pictures before I got too busy to post them, and LJ too cluncy.

So I am going back to finish that, and start something new.

This is my son's room at night. We decorated as our laziness and crappy crafty skills allowed us. The end result is very cheerful, in my opinion. ;)

Capturing December - Day 28 : Words

Well, I actually made this picture on 31st, when we still had snow, but it fits the theme and the mood. ;)

the words say С Новым Годом! - Happy New Year!

Capturing December - Day 29 : Sky View

Morning sky in our town.

Capturing December - Day 30 : Winter Wonderland

As luck had it, we had a snowfall on 29th, and then temperature fell just enough for snow to stay, so we had a couple of days of winter wonderland and an opportunity to use it for all its worth.

We've made a snowman, had a snowball fight, and then - this (sledding, I guess?). I was sledding too, as I am not averse to fun, but the snowhills of my childhood were so much better. ;)

Capturing December - Day 31 : Fun

As it happens, the New Year Eve's fun is as much about food as everything else. It is understood that food doesn't make the celebration fun, but without food it is no fun, either. I worry a lot before the day, since I have - every single year - that drive to cook as much as no one can eat, but thankfully, my laziness overcomes at the end and I only cook what can be eaten by two people - and it still takes us three days to finish it all.

But "THE SALADS" must be prepared - otherwise it's all wrong. "Herring under a coat" for P., and "Olivie" for me. Lately, with the addition of D, we also work on making holiday cookies.

So here are two pictures:

This is "olivie" salad


these are "kozuli" - traditional Nothern Russian cookies. the problem is that I haven't eaten the real ones, so I have no how do they fare by comparison, but they were delicious in their own right. D. was decorating himself.
