It's Christmastime in our house

Finally finished decorating today and the house looks so festive!  The images are a little dark, but I didn't have time to play around with them tonight.  I'll do a better set before we take down the tree.  Anyway....fa la la la la!

Night scenes in NoDa

In NoDa tonight for dinner and the streets were decked for the holidays.  Here are a few scenes.

Night out with the girls

Had a fun night out tonight with some good friends at Dean & Deluca wine bar.  The photos are a little blurred and grainy since I didn't want to use a flash and it was fairly dark, but everyone still looked adorable as usual!  I really liked them in this creamy black and white tone.

Christmas cards

My holiday cards are finally finished and ready to mail.  Now will someone come wrap presents, ship, decorate and bake for me?  Pretty please?

Winter boots

As I look back over the year I realize that I've compiled a somewhat deliberate series of images of shoes.  As I was carrying George's snow boots upstairs this afternoon I thought they'd make a nice addition to the series.  I lowered the saturation and added some intentional grain to emphasize the rugged nature of the boots.

Naked

We got our Christmas tree yesterday afternoon but haven't decorated it yet.  It just looks so bare sitting there in the window.....

Snow on the mountain

We woke to 6 inches of beautiful fresh snow this morning.  For a brief time before the upcoming high winds, the trees were covered.  On the way down the mountain, a sliver of sun and blue sky highlighted the fog shrouded valleys.
