Christmas happened again. We lined up for the annual family Christmas portrait. We went without the wacky hats this year for some reason.
Christmas Day commenced with the usual embarrassment of riches shared with Gina’s Mom and Dad.
That afternoon we went over the river and through the woods to Nana and Gramps’ where Abby procured the iPod that we can’t pry out of her hands.
I think this is just the greatest thing. Watch it in HD and kill the little pop-up ads.
The highlights of the annual family Christmas portrait in front of the tree.
My parents have a cute series of pictures taken over several years of me and my sisters sitting at the top of the stairs before hitting the living room to partake of Santa’s bounty. Since we now live in a house with stairs I thought it would be neat to do the same thing with Abby. She wanted no part of it and only allowed me to take this one picture of her scowling.
So it’s the Christmas season and we made our annual trek to Motley’s Christmas Tree Farm and Seasonal Extravaganza. Abby always wants to ride the cow train until she actually gets seated in one of the cows.
I got a macro-focusing rail for Christmas and then I read on a photography blog about doing the Christmas-lights-bokeh thing. The two combined into a perfect storm of copycat macro photography of Christmas tree ornaments.
Not really. We had a great time on Christmas Eve with Nana and Gramps and Aunt Jodie.
Santa made a special visit to Branson over the weekend so Mimi and Papa could get their Christmas on with Abby and the big winner from Christmas Haul #1 is the Razor scooter. We found this great unused parking lot in Branson, but she crashed after just a few minutes and wanted to rest for awhile. When we got back to Little Rock she made me take her to a “tennis course” because that was the smoothest place she could think of to ride on.
