Christmas Pictures

Charla bought a new point and shoot camera, and since she isn't doing professional photography anymore, she gave me her backup digital SLR. Christmas provided the perfect opportunity to practice my photography skills.

Charla's service present to me was cleaning out my fish tank really well. Don't they look happy?



Here's a portrait I took of Charla a day or two before Christmas.



Here's the peaceful "before" picture on Christmas Eve after the kids went to bed.



Michael really loved this polar bear from my Grandmother.



Charla got some good pictures of Heather, but this is the best one I managed. Charla is trying to grow out Heather's hair, which annoys me because she always looks like this, but she assures me it will be worth it in the long run. At least it is a realistic depiction.



Zachary really enjoyed himself this morning. It was kind of bittersweet for us, because this will be our first and last Christmas with him.
