| I told you these were going to be just everyday life pictures. :) I love mason jars. And dried fruit. Especially dried apricots (right, Mum?) and prunes (yes, prunes). Oh, and brown sugar. |
 |
| This is one of our kitchen cupboards. I took a picture of it... because I was quite proud of myself for a) the mason jars and b) the spices/ honey I got from bulk barn for screaming deals (take that, Sobeys and your overpriced-ness) |

| One recent Saturday afternoon Brian and I went on a Starbucks date. This is a cranberry bliss bar. It was good. |
 |
| The view when sitting by the window of our local downtown Starbucks. There are 3 Starbucks stores in all of Newfoundland. I'm not obsessed with the place, but I would like to note that that is significantly less than in the city of Vancouver alone. |
 |
| Mmm. Christmas drinks. |

| Us and the outside world |
 |
| Making sugar cookies |
 |
| Using pointy little knives as cookie cutters is serious business |
 |
| Finished product... yummy. |

| This lovely gal is getting married in 16 sleeps! |

 |
| Lately, I have been learning about my camera while Brian works at his new desk (he built it from scratch? Nice eh?). So, I test out new photography techniques on him when he isn't looking. I think this was a longer shutter speed or something. |
 |
| This was testing out the 'face recognition' setting- "Hey Brian, look over here for a minute". Serious faces only though. |
 |
| We went to a Christmas Advent service at the Basilica, a beautiful Catholic cathedral just down the street. Didn't know any of the songs, but it was still pretty neat. The building is stunning. |
 |
| Alex sent us a lovely wedding present. Vancouver coffee, Summerland jam and chutney, good chocolate, and spoon-fork-knife combos. Among other goodies. It was awesome. |
 |
| Here's a blurry self portrait of us with the goods. |
 |
| Enjoying the coffee smell? |
 |
| There it is. Dear Vancouver, sometimes I miss your organic-local-fresh-hippyness. But that's ok. |

I have two comments:
1) Cranberry bliss bars are amazing!
2) I miss Brianne (enjoy her wedding!)
Jen, wouldn't it be nice if they could somehow make a car freshener that smelled as good as that fresh coffee? I always like to smell Mum's coffee pot too...so good.
CB.
Would love to go to a coffee shop with a view like the harbour of St John's!!
