New York City

My husband and I just got back from an overnight trip to NYC to see Cyrano de Bergerac on Broadway. (Excellent show, by the way. Kevin Kline was born to be on stage! I can't imagine anyone else playing the part of Cyrano as well as he did. Jennifer Garner did a wonderful job as Roxane.) We had a little bit of time to do some touring. My favorite spot was Rockefeller Center. The tree was amazing. NYC is beautiful at Christmas time. We went to Times Square but I didn't have my camera at the time. It's hard to imagine the tons of people that will crowd into that small space in just a few days on New Year's Eve. We passed Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden and of course a trip down Broadway to see all of the marquees. I also snapped this photo of the Empire State Building on our way out of the city today.

Ice!

Yesterday we had some freezing rain which made our trees look really pretty. Thankfully the roads weren't too bad and the ice wasn't heavy enough to cause power outages. Everything looked so beautiful this morning when the sun started shining through the ice dripping off the trees and plants. These are a few pictures from our yard.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

This little snowman sits in my Mom and Dad's front yard. I was outside one night playing with my camera on my tripod and snapped this picture. We're getting some freezing rain right now. I'd rather have snow!

Christmas Photo Cards

It's become a tradition in our house for me to take a picture of my kids each year and use that to make our Christmas Cards. I used my roll of white seamless paper on my background stand in our garage. Natural lighting, no lights or flash. Camera on tripod.

Evan's Faces

My nephew did some posing for me at our family Christmas party on Saturday. He shared some of his "faces" for the camera. From left to right: "Evan, show me your silly, mad, scary, happy face."
