Are you ready?

I *think* we’re ready.  At least I hope we are!  All that’s left for me to do is order the gro­ceries (I’m doing this online and then going to pick them up on Wednes­day I think).  All of the presents have been pur­chased and wrapped and I can­not wait to GIVE all of our gifts this year.  It’s def­i­nitely more fun than receiving!

Last Fri­day Tyson had his lit­tle Christ­mas pro­gram at preschool.  While the pro­gram con­sisted mostly of a local choir singing some songs, at the end, the kids got to join them and sing a few songs.  they were SO cute!  And Tyson did great and knew most all of the words to the songs (and I could even hear his cute lit­tle voice singing).

Here’s a lit­tle snip­pet of Rudolph the Red Nosed Rein­deer.  He get’s VERY into it about 1/3 of the way in.

Last night I was play­ing with a fun lit­tle tech­nique on how to get “shaped” bokeh.  This was a good learn­ing expe­ri­ence for me because for the first time ever, I had to man­u­ally focus.  But it was SO cool!  I’m try­ing to fig­ure out what other shapes I could do…

This was just a star­burst sort of shape

This was my attempt at a snowflake shape, but clearly, I need to work on my snowflake cut­ting skills…maybe Tyson can help me!

And last, but not least, Christ­mas tree bokeh!

So, what do you think?

    I love it! But really? Does the “direc­tor” have to wave her hands like that? They are four! Ty did a great job! Merry Christ­mas dear!
