Christmas Favorites

We had a great Christmas here at home. I hope everyone else out there had an enjoyable Christmas. Relaxing by the fireplace, toboggan ride down the hill, hot chocolate, eggnog, Christmas cookies, family, friends, parties and giving to others. I decided to experiment a little with my camera and have some fun.

Here are a couple of pictures of Santa when he made his appearance at the kids Christmas party.





The girls had a blast. I remember quite clearly how Ava repeatedly explained to me that she wanted to hide behind me and put her hands out to receive her gift from Santa. I don't know why exactly as she is not afraid of Santa at all. When it came time she very happily stood proudly in front of him and explained how she wanted Hungry Hippos for Christmas.

This is an image of the ice that was clinging to the trees around the neighbourhood the week of Christmas. I stood outside in -25 degree weather to capture this image.


I always love to capture images of the Christmas tree with the stockings placed neatly underneath on Christmas Eve. I decided to turn on the Christmas lights and turn off all remaining lights in the house. I am very pleased with the result as this is exactly what I was hoping for.
