2011 in review: december

In December we celebrated my Mister's birthday, made a review for Disderi 3 lens Robot camera, drew the Christmas postcards and sent them out, I won a giveaway, we went to a secret New Years party, and posted some pip-beard stories (here and here). Also we were gift shopping and wrapping :-) The main holiday of the year is coming in less than 6 hours!! Happy New Year, Friends!!!!

November was cold and icy. We went mushroom and berry hunting and just wandering around the city and the countryside, Sarah from A Lost Feather made a guest post; we found a new cool diner in Moscow, started the Love is series, showed some outfits and celebrated my first Thanksgiving!

In October the leaves were golden and we took outfit pics (here), discovered a new great snack, bunbun shaved his beard off, we had many nice walks and went to the countryside more! Overall the month was a pretty nice and colorful!

Pip-Beard Story: The Compulsive Moose

Under some sod, the moose had hidden five full packages of oreos.


Come nightfall, he would devour them all in secret.

Finally!! On the 1st of September my Mister arrived to Moscow and we were again together, with no plans to go somewhere again without each other! We continued having picnics, taking outfit pics (here and here), baking and frying, walking in the parks, and just being colorful! We were very excited when Ben's friend Mike came for a visit - it was his first trip to Russia! We went to my friend's wedding but we haven't gotten any photos from it yet.. And of course i made some more gifs.

Beautiful, warm and sunny August! I loved it. It could have been better if only Ben and I were not that far away from each other. We tried to be pretty busy so that time flies faster. This is what we did: Ben went floating, picked huckleberries, found a cherry squirrel, made some cool videos and songs and he took me to my favorite place on Earth - Montana! I traveled in Russia and had some cool adventures with my friends from couchsurfing, the rest of the time i was mostly busy filling out different applications and going to the interviews - and i got a new job! Plus Ben and I discovered a new cool program for photo editing and a pretty exciting site for turning any word into color!

We started July with the Independence Day celebration, then later we also had time to bake, have picnics and pick apples!

The rest of July was hard and long because Benjamin had to go back home to get a new visa and stuff.. so we were far away from each other, across the ocean and 11 hours apart. We started From Far Away Sunday series so we could share with each other the same moments or things from Russia and the US. Like this, this and this. Ben also wrote more stories and drew more nice things, like this fantastic bunny for me:

We had lots of fun watching this bunny jumping contest and playing with our instax mini, Disderi 4 lens camera and the Golden Half!

And of course we were outside a lot: I was taking pictures of the nature creatures and Mister went hiking, fishing and other stuff that made me jealous haha But most of all we missed each other!

June was all about fun, sun and being outside! We visited a music festival , discovered a very cute tea place nearby, celebrated Russia Day, cooked and ate some yummy stuff, went to a food festival, and we just had great time! Also i made a gif with my little ball of fur - i am still very excited about this! :-)
