We celebrated our family Christmas last night and it was nice. Except for eating WAY too much, I think we all had a great time. Santa brought me the ever so cool Fuji Instax Mini – now to load up on tons of extra film. I have so many plans for this camera with the studio! Some pictures from yesterday:
For those seeing images of my dogs in crazy “get-ups” no fear. They don’t stay on very long. Unless it’s a sweater to keep them warm when it’s cold outside.
That’s Jake & Andrea’s gianormous dog, Pirate.
OMG – best dessert ever. Chocolate Truffle Mouse Cake. Yah, I said that.
Poor Andrea was sick.
The camera – and some funny pictures. 10 film packs go fast!
My brother’s beer – gotta love Schlafly!
Too bad we didn’t have any Christmas Ale.
This afternoon we are heading out to St. Charles to my uncle’s home. The extended family will be together. This year, we opted to do no gift giving except to the little ones. I’m so glad for this. It helps keep the focus on family and enjoying company rather than feeling pressured to buy gifts for so many people. I like keeping things simple.
Merry Christmas.
