First I want to apologize for the lack of posts this past month, wow there was a lot to do.  It seems like there isn’t enough time in the day, let alone the month to fit everything in!  Now that it’s all over we can get back to business. 

Santa did bring me some wonderful presents and I plan to feature some of them on the site in the coming months.  I can’t wait to try out my sister’s new camera, the NikonD5000 to be exact.  But in the meantime this post is meant to pay homage to my baby, my good old Canon EOS Rebel xs.  I too, have not finished the manual (not sure if I ever will?).  This camera is a joy – I love taking pictures and having good equipment makes it that much better.  Here are a couple of Christmas season photos Canon Style!

Hope your Holidays were as wonderful as mine!

Well…we’re back.  We were MIA for about a month, but we are back! 

The holidays were great…relaxing and filled with family.  Some of my highlights of the last few weeks include Christmas shopping with my mom, Vegas, Los Angeles, babysitting my nephew’s new hamster and plenty of days filled with leisurely cooking.    

Another highlight of the holiday – my new Nikon D5000 camera!  Now I just need to figure out how to use it properly.  I feel like a true pro with this thing.    Here are some shots from Christmas day…

There will be many more to come…  Off to read my manual.
