#100HappyDays Continued – Days 143 – 149
Another week of photos for your viewing pleasure. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed each moment.
Day 143 – November 26, 2014: I finally had a few minutes to sit down and flip through a lovely journal that arrived a few days early from My Hope Jar. And, when I stumbled upon this page, I couldn’t help but smile and enjoy the message that spoke so clearly to me.
Day 144 – November 27, 2014: Rabbit paw prints in fresh nighttime snow.
Day 145 – November 28, 2014: While I still want my Eames chair to complete the reading nook in our living room, this second hand chair (that we got for an amazing price) is a perfect stand-in for the foreseeable future.
Day 146 – November 29, 2014: Happy Birthday Mr. MPB! With a winter snowstorm occurring and temperatures feeling as cold as -37 C (-35 F), we spent the day snuggled under blankets watching a Star Wars movie marathon. The highlight of this happy day was when Mr. MPB cooked his own birthday dinner to perfection. The menu:
- Wild scallops and giant tiger prawns cooked in a garlic butter sauce with a splash of white wine.
- Portobello mushroom ravioli in a homemade goat cheese alfredo.
- Fresh parmesan oregano focaccia bread dipped in organic olive oil and maple infused organic balsamic vinegar.
Day 147 – November 30, 2014: Left over birthday cheese cake. Yummy!!
Day 148 – December 1, 2014: We added a little touch to our kitchen – invisible floating shelves for some of our favourite cookbooks. Cute things make me happy.
Day 149 – December 2, 2014: Some of our outdoor Christmas lights are now shining brightly every evening (only because we never got around to taking them out of the shrub last Christmas). If the weather cooperates we will hang more on the weekend.
Wishing everyone splendid happy moments!

Omg, I am salivating. Wonderful happy days pictures. I love how you have a book dedicated purely to ceviche (which happens to be one of my favourite things to eat)!

Whenever we travel we buy cookbooks, and we bought the ceviche book when we were in Peru. I’m not a huge ceviche fan, but Mr. MPB loves it.

I am drooling over that birthday meal. Way to outdo yourself, Mr. MPB!
I wish we had an electrical outlet at the front of our house outside so we could decorate with something lit up. I love the lights!
