Merry and Bright and all that Good Stuff...

So far, Christmas has been pretty good. And it's still nearly a week away! 

Our new neighborhood has an event every year around Christmas called "Lakeside Luminaries" where they set out hundreds of paper bags with candles in them... That would be so illegal in California. But it's very pretty! This is what they looked like before...

And after.

It was pretty awesome.

And I hung up the lights all by myself while listening to Christmas music by Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys and She and Him. Surprisingly, it was rather enjoyable... except when I had to duct tape one of the strings because the darn thing wouldn't stay...

Yeah, I think this Christmas will be a good one...

The Hap-happiest Time of the Year

So, my darling mum has agreed to let me be in charge of the Christmas decorating! My poor family...

WARNING: There will probably be a lot of Christmas-y posts soon (unless I lose steam and quit making decorations) so if your name is Ebeneezer Scrooge or Mr. Grinch or anything of that sort I would advise you to stop reading this blog. Just in case.

Fatboy likes the new decorations, even if no one else does.

Olivia the Beautiful

So, my friend (whose name is Olivia, if you didn't already figure that out) trusted me to take her senior photos! Let's hope she isn't too disappointed. Actually, I like how these turned out. She just makes every photo beautiful...
