Food and Life

December 2014 in Instagram

March 27, 2015 · Photos

December 2014

There is no denying that December was full of festiveness, family, fun, and delicious food.

…We celebrated Christmas and New Years’ Eve with both old and new traditions.

… I added a few new favorite ornaments to our food-and-drink themed Christmas tree.

… We captured beautiful sunsets and gloomy skies.

… Twinkle lights and art projects.

… Fat cats and lazy dogs (in my chair no less!).

… And I do believe that my favorite part of the month was that I managed to get Nick in at least five pictures, which thrills me to no end. While he never turns down my request for a picture, he is not always around. He is spending more and more time with friends and off gallivanting, and that is awesome, but it makes my heart happy to have photographic evidence of this chapter in our lives.

You can find the November 2014 review here, October review here, September here, August here (and a million other months are linked at the bottom of that round-up).

Want to learn a few tips and tricks and about other good photo apps? Check out this post here.

*I’m cateomalley on Instagram if you’d like to follow along our adventures, big and small, during the month. If you want even more deliciousness in your feed, check out some of my favorite IGers right here.
