December Photo Project - Day 23

My lovely wife got her very own Christmas Tree last year. This is her tree. Not the family tree. Hers. She decorates it the way she wants. It's a beautiful tree. 

She wanted to display her gorgeous ornaments like this one. It's "5 Golden Rings". Get it? 

Then there is this cute ornament that reminds her of her very own "heaven on earth". It's from Jekyll Island, GA. The perfect vacation spot for someone who loves the beach but not the crowds.  

Then there is the family tree with all of Dad's Hallmark ornaments that he has collected over the years. Hey, every tree deserves a little pop culture and nothing says pop culture like Luke Skywalker and Barbie!

I'm sure that Superman has had enough of the Christmas rush and is flying south to Jekyll Island. Up, up, and away!

A "wintery mix" hit our small part of the world this morning leaving some ice on the bushes and trees in our front yard.

Nothing says Christmas like NBA Basketball. Thanks to my brother Jeff for taking me out to the ball game (wait, I think that's baseball). We watched our beloved Washington Wizards lose to the Philadelphia 76ers. The company was great, just wish the Wizards could have won.

Nothing says Christmas like a toy train...

December Photo Project - Day 15

Tonight Santa rolled through our neighborhood escorted by the Huntingtown Fire Department. (Man, that Santa really has some pull.) He passed out some goodies to all the kids along the street. The kids and parents had a great time, even if it only lasted 5 minutes. But hey, Santa is busy and really needs to get back to the North Pole. There is only 10 days left until Christmas, but who's counting?

Check out all the colors of these poinsettias. So much for red.

The Larrimore family photo shoot continued...

Thank you Tara for inviting me in to shoot your beautiful family. 

December Photo Project - Day 9 - Visit with Santa

Tonight we made our annual trek to see Santa. We headed for the local Mall and when we got there, the man in red was on his dinner break (he needs to keep his jolly figure). So, the girls and I headed over to the brand new (open for 3 days) Cheesecake Factory to grab a bite to eat. The food was excellent (Note to Puna, I promise I will do extra cardio tomorrow to make up for the extra food I ate tonight). 

We walked back into the Mall in the direction of Santa and made a detour into the BEST store in the whole world. The Apple Store! If your a Mac fanatic you "get it", if your not, well, you are missing out. 

My girls had some leftover birthday cash stashed and they both wanted an iPod. Who am I to say no to such technological wonders? 

They got different colors so they would know who's is who's. (thank you)

On the way out, I noticed that the display Santa was sporting an iPhone. Santa rocks!

Next we stood in a very short line. Here the girls are sitting in the on deck circle. Look at the anticipation on those little faces. 

In the Santa Seat!

And what do you want for Christmas little girl?

Little girl 1: "A TV for our playroom!"

Little girl 2: "Everything!" (Oh, to be 6 years old again!)

Thanks Santa! There will be extra cookies waiting for you at our house.
