Christmas Lights

Just playing with the Christmas lights…

…and my favorite tea cup. I don’t quite have the settings figured out for photos like this…but I’m sure I’ll keep working on it!

Settings:

100mm lens
iso 5000
f/ 18
shutter speed 1.6

I know, I know…I should be shopping or wrapping or decorating or sending out Christmas Cards…

Thanksgiving

by Kay~Kacey on 12/15/2009

I know, I know…it’s almost Christmas, but I forgot to share some Thanksgiving photos! We had such a great time.

First off, SuperGuy fries the turkeys…so that gets the bird out of my kitchen and into the backyard. Love this. Leaves all the kitchen to me, me, me. Second nice thing about this? You can always predict exactly when the turkey will be done. Can’t do that when you bake a bird, now can you? There is always that stress of will it be done when everything else is when you bake a bird.

(working hard at his job, isn’t he???)

They kept warm by SuperGuy’s new propane warmer thingie — you saw him putting it together here— and this new fire pit that I love and adore. :love:

Well, so much for Thanksgiving…it’s one to Christmas now! Who knows what trouble all the males will get into this year!

Who Won This Argument?

by Kay~Kacey on 12/14/2009

Remember when we talked about The Geeky One and The Adorable Fiancée’s Christmas Tree? We wondered who would win the argument about what went on the top of the tree?

At first, The Adorable Fiancée thought she had it made. She got her way. Her pretty star won the top spot on the tree…

But my sneaky son slyly went back later and hung the Jack from Jack-in-the Box right up on the star. He said it was days and days before she noticed! :rofl:

Now their tree looks amazingly like our Christmas Tree!
