Days 336-338: ‘Tis The Season

This weekend was filled with Christmas preparations and activities. Friday evening we attended the University of Kansas Holiday Vespers concert with songs from the KU Symphony Orchestra and the KU Choirs. I spent some time at my parents’ house on Saturday where I was able to admire my all-time favorite holiday decoration: my mom’s Dickens Village. And Sunday evening Jerod and I finally made time to put up our own Christmas decorations with just one minor injury. What are your favorite holiday traditions or decorations?

Day 335: The Holiday Parties Are Upon Us

Yesterday I met with the other girls on our Fun Committee at work to finish and deliver the invitations for our Holiday Party. Thanks to Pinterest, we have so many great ideas for our Cocoa & Cookies party!

Day 334: Bokeh Holiday Lights

Now that it’s December, I can officially start shooting holiday photos. I love my 50 mm f/1.8 lens. I’ve been waiting for Christmas for eight months to take photos like this.
