After the whirlwind of holidays over the past two weeks, I'm finally getting a chance to sit back and RELAX! As I mentioned in my last blog, Frank & I headed to LI on the Tuesday before Christmas where we spent lots of time with our niece, Kate, spent time with his family and my family, ate a ton, laughed a lot, and had a blast! I was extremely lucky to have so many wonderful, caring people around me for my first Christmas away from mom. Frank's family was great - and it definitely helped that I got to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc on Christmas day as well. We left LI Saturday evening (after Christmas) so we'd have Sunday to recuperate at home before heading to work on Monday. (Sidenote: I'm not sure why I didn't take off the two full weeks - maybe I'll remember next year!) We had a relatively quiet New Year's Eve at Mike & MK's place where she cooked a delicious dinner. Then on this past Saturday, we were on the road again to celebrate Christmas with my mom - Again, more food, fun, and family (not to mention gifts!). Frank & I are really lucky to have such loving, generous families. We still haven't managed to put away all of our gifts (highlights include a new camera for both of us, Garmin Forerunner for me, soccer videos/books for Frank, lots of clothes, shoes, new shades for me, things for the house...)
Here are a few pics care of our new Nikon! We've only used it in manual mode so far - Lots of photography learning ahead of us! I also tried playing around with the software that came with the camera to create these collages.
