Vegan pancakes for breakfast (have I mentioned that we have been eating vegan for about the past month--so far so good)!
Good morning!
Perfect lunch for a cold Christmas day, which was actually quite mild.
Justin and Lil's new mini-van, in which they plan to tour the country, incognito, someday, and which now carries their kayaks to all the rivers they want to explore.
A Christmas walk in the park. Thank you, City of Cornelius, for improving the park path!
Aug loves his Juncle.
Lil donned Eric's grandma's apron before working on the meat(less)loaf.
Assistant to the chefs.
Christmas dinner! We had sage onion gravy over the meatloaf and mashed potatoes, plus some colorful carrot and beet salad from one of our favorites, the Monastery Cookbook. And tofu cheesecake with a graham cracker crust and berry chocolate sauce on top.
Auggie sandwich.
This wrapping made a fun scratching sound. Auggie looks like he has some intention as he opened...
...but, no surprise here -- he just wanted to put it all in his mouth.
New kicks.
All tuckered out.
Six months old! Can you believe it? Happy 0.5, Buddycakes!
These sweet overalls were a gift from Aunties Cessie and Cindy.
And in case we hadn't eaten enough over the weekend, our neighbor, Matilde, brought us a huge batch of vegan veggie tamales, a Christmas specialty for lots of folks in Mexico (not the vegan part!). They were soooo delicious, and so numerous that we had to freeze a bunch before leaving town. By the time we returned home a few days ago, I had completely forgotten about them until I opened the bare-looking fridge and freezer to find something to eat. Joy! Two more meals' worth of those tasty tamales! Merry Christmas to us!
After Auggie's 6-month appointment (he is 19 lbs, 12 ounces, by the way -- still off the charts!), and a trip into Portland to visit Next Adventure, a used sporting goods store, we had a wonderful day-after-Christmas tamale dinner.
Happy.
