Christmas 2015

Week Fifty Two

December 25, 2015

This year I challenged myself to make a video during Christmas that used all motion shots. Here is the result, our Christmas in 2015. I love the little family I'm creating, the family I come from, and the family I got to marry into. I hope I continue to make these in the years to come.

Around Here/Scenes from Christmas

Christmas came way too fast this year.  I don’t know if it was the shortened weeks between the holidays or if it was because I was sick (yet again), but Christmas came happened with a blur.  Thankfully I had a camera to capture the day and to make it slow down ever so slightly.

We got up Christmas morning, put in some Christmas tunes and opened our family presents in our pajamas, just like we do every year.

Then the getting ready for the day began.  Dakota came over and we opened our presents that we got each other.  I’m so glad I shocked him with his present!  Such a great moment!  Then we headed to his parent’s house to celebrate the holiday with his parents and siblings.

After opening gifts with his family, we went back to my house and celebrated/had dinner with my parents.  Dad wanted to try something different for Christmas dinner so we had a Smoked Bourbon Turkey with rice and veggies.  Something very different from our traditional meal and thankfully it turned out pretty good!  Dad was very pleased with himself.  After dinner, we opened a few more presents (Dakota opened what my parents got him) and then we just relaxed for the rest of the night.  It was busy, and perfect, and full of Christmas cheer!

Week 51

December 24, 2011

12 of 12 | December 2011

I can't believe an entire year of 12 of 12s is complete.  I loved this project and can't wait to do it again next year!

Once again, everyone in the house is sick.  I find it a little ironic that 2 of the 12 photos in this project are us stuck at home while sick.  But either way, I kind of like this set.  

01.  Ibuprofen and water.  The two things that are getting me through this cold.
02.  Watching TV and movies while laying on the sofa.
03.  Abby is going through a needy stage.
04.  Great words.
05.  Abby thought it would be a good idea to use my head as a pillow.  See what I mean?--Needy.  We laid like this for a good 15-20 minutes.
06.  Holiday village.
07.  Christmas card I got from my friend Mallory.  (I also go her 'Save the Date' announcement too!)
08.  Mom and I tried to cure Abby's neediness so we took her on a car ride.  We saw cows and Abby barked at them.  They weren't amused and walked away the second after I took this photo.
09.  Working on my final assignments for school.
10.  Christmas Tree.
11.  My last two assignments....EVER!!!!!! Graduation is in 4 days!  Woo-Hoo!!
12.  The Oscar movies that mom and I watched today.  Trying to complete my list by the end of the year.
