december // snow, christmas & snow

so here's the rest of december.  and if i had to use one word to sum up the rest of december (and pretty much all of winter so far) it would be SNOW.  holy crap, so much snow.  i love the snow but portland? does not.  we don't do too well here in the snow.  school is canceled, the roads shut down & all hell breaks loose.  so i guess that makes it annoying.  but it's so pretty in an otherwise dreary season & it is a fun way to break up the normal day to day.  so we've been making the best of it.

christmas was great.  the boys are totally into everything christmasy from christmas lights to decorations to santa (santa photos will be posted in a separate post) and we really talked about the season of giving & love this year too.  every holiday just seems to get more & more special with these guys.  we just stayed home this year, sam made a killer prime rib & jodi & jason came to hang out for a good part of the day.  all was well.

in photography related news, i bought my first medium format film camera!  it's going to be a fun way to expand my photography in the new year & is something i've been wanting to do for years.  so now it's happening.  i'm stoked!

anywho, here are some highlights from december.  enjoy.
