I used to be the smart one: christmas wrap up

This Christmas was extra special, and not just because I was surrounded by loved ones. My brother proposed to his girlfriend two days before our arrival! Within two hours of our touch down to Boston, Andy and I went with the entire family to the Celtics-Pacers game. I spent the next several days catching up with old co-workers, friends, and family and drinking and eating all those holidays treats that are bad for you. Cookies for breakfast? Don't mind if I do! We even had a white Christmas!

My San Francisco photos were a big hit as presents - I gave my parents calendars (which they can't stop showing off - I recommend Snapfish, very high quality) and my brothers and relatives framed pictures. My father also gave me an interesting book - Digital Photography Bucket List: 100 Great Digital Photos You Must Take Before You Die.

I wish I took more photos of the New England winter scene, but I was too busy. Granted, this trip was more relaxing than our whirl wind visit in September when I constantly felt tired, but still crazy. My camera was along for documentation rather than art. In my few spare moments alone, I grabbed what creative shots I could, but no sparkling white fields of snow.
