Christmas has come and gone...

I can't believe how quickly Christmas has come and gone, I feel like I was still scrambling around shopping, and decorating my tree. I don't know what happened this year, but for the first time, I was still decorating my tree the night before Christmas. I tend to decorate with red and silver every year, and this year I wanted a change, so I looked for black bulbs. I had a hard time finding what I liked so I decided to glitter my own black. I really wish I was able to enjoy my tree decorated with wrapped package longer than just Christmas morning, but I do have the pictures to enjoy.

I had a wonderful Christmas with our family and am so joyful to celebrate each and every year with them.

I am also very happy to announce I received a new Nikon D5000.  I can't wait to begin taking better quality pictures for my blog.  I hope I can learn very quickly how to operate this "over my head" camera.  This is my very first SLR.  It was funny that I received only the camera on Christmas, and had to wait to receive the lens the following day on my birthday.
