POTD ~ My guys

It is not the best photo around but I think it is cute, the guys in my life sharing a drink made from the juicer. We just bought the juicer and I am so happy to see the my boys are now getting the veggies they need weather they know it or not, they seem to be enjoying it....why did we not think of his sooner.


I was in there to having a sip when the thought of "oh this is a shot" so I sacrificed my part of the juice for a photo.....

Here is the 1st casualty of Christmas 2008, my youngest broke his 1st year ornament. The bottom where you see 2007 a glass bubble was around it filled with water and sparkles .... no longer sparkly... I was able to save it and got all of the glass removed from it.




Now for this next photo can you please tell me what you see in the colors and stuff, like if the background is white or not (I see white now and I hope you do too) HCC is welcome on either photos

Thanks
