Dear Santa- All Eleanor wants for Christmas are spices, containers and containers of them, so she can throw them around the kitchen over and over again. #spicespicebaby

Returning to winter weekend routine, making orange juice

Ella chugs her first glass of orange juice* (one part juice, four parts water)

Desmond helps dust all the things

Afternoon naps, these days will be over before we know it

Any excuse to do whatever her big brother is doing

Desmond wanted a picture of the snowman masterpiece. It was only later that the irony of a yellow snowman dawned on dad.

Pictured: family of four, eating mussels for dinner.
