25 Days of Christmas [Days 6 & 7]

This sweet miniature nativity was given to me by my friend Judy.  She brought it home from Argentina after her son's wedding.  Thanks Judy!  I love it!

Just one of my favorite ornaments with a little texture added.  I just love all the little added details like the hay, the string beard, and the lamb's wool. 

25 days of Christmas [Days 4 & 5]

I love being a musician, but especially at this time of year.  So many beautiful Christmas songs to play.  This one is my best attempt to send you a musical greeting card.  BTW...if you count in the background, there are only 6 stockings (when in fact, we need 7).  Fear not...Abigail does have a stocking, but I have not found a stocking hanger yet.  It's on my "to do" list.  lol

I found these cute little guys at Target.  So fun!  They're made by Betty Crocker out of icing and are meant to decorate cakes and cookies.  Each one is about 1 in. tall.  CUTE!

Christmas Countdown...

I decided to start a short term photo challenge, because I am so NOT up to another 365.  This will be a 25 days of Christmas (or a 12 days of Christmas if I'm crunched for time).  Simply put, posting one Christmas themed photo each day until Christmas.  A photographic Christmas countdown.  I've been keeping up with the schedule on flickr so far, but got behind on the blog...so I'll be posting more than 1 pic a day to play catch up.  Yesterday's snowman cookie was Day 1...and Day 2 was our cutie pies below.  BTW...first time these two have EVER looked up and smiled at the same time.  Oh happy day!

 

Abigail LOVED that box!!!

 

Day 2...just some silliness...

 
The irony here is that I have a couple of Thanksgiving pics I still hope to post, but I'm not done editing them.  Oops!   Guess we'll have our holidays out of order. 

Holy bokeh, it's that time of year again!

Be prepared.  I'm sure this is only the beginning of the Christmas tree bokeh shots.  lol.  Love that snowman cookie!

Cool girl...

Love her, looking too cool for school!

Art?

What do you do when you have a sweet photo that's a little bit out of focus?  Have a play around in PSE and call it "art".  lol

Harvest hands...

Love those chubby little fingers and that callous on her thumb (from sucking it).  lol
