Christmas Crazy

So the week before Christmas flew by and I had visitors and parties and lots of hugs and kisses.  I loved my time with everyone.  I thought I would take more photos but, I got so busy talking and experiencing the season that I let that get away from me.  I have a few shots to share with my internets.  I hope you have fun looking at them.

 Christmas Morning

I didn't get really any photos this morning.  The kids got up at 6 am to see if Santa came by.  I was dead tired hearing them squeal downstairs.  The two elder kids were down there for the longest time and they waited so patiently. We came down at 7 and woke up the third born for it all.  There was so much excitement and commotion. That I didn't even take photos. Not really a bad thing.  I enjoy being in the moment.

Can I tell you how hard it was for me to switch to flash auto point n shoot for these pictures? Really really hard.  But, it was still so dim outside and the lighting is TERRIBLE in my house.  Notice the clock on the wall? It is still an hour ahead of time (pathetic- I still haven't fixed it).

Guess what I got for CHRISTMAS? I got a BRAND NEW NIKON D90!!!! wHOOP whoop!  Yes sir!
