Ice Skating the Old Fashioned Way

The weather outside was frightful, but inside the tent was so delightful.  At some point in the night I started to lose feeling in my toes...UGG Boots left home in the garage :-(  the end of the evening gave us the opportunity to do some ice skating on an old fashioned rink, and of course we needed a photographer soooo I got to sit on the sidelines.  The kids had a blast Cam fearless and Cait full of fear.  One running across the ice and the other one not letting go.  These are one of those moments that you wish you could bottle, save it for a day that needs light, love or laughing.   I have lately started to feel that feeling that time is slipping through my hands, that my babies are no longer babies but children and young adults.  I am so glad that we starte.d this tradition...memories locked away that can be shared at a later date

Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village

 First year which could result into an annual tradition in Dearborn.  Tony and I took the kids last year to the IMAX Theatre to see the Christmas Carol and we had just missed the last night, so we made a promise to check it out next year.  We took some really good friends with us and although the evening was warm it drizzled all throughout the night.  What an amazing time, definitely something that will turn into an annual tradition.

Oh, most important of all I got a new camera for Christmas! (can you hear me singing it) yeah baby Canon 5D Mark II, this was the first time I used it.  First off all Canon's are not the same, they moved all of the controls/buttons and it took me 30 minutes to figure everything out but I fell in love with the pictures I was able to get.  To shoot in complete darkness with no flash and just some ambient light from light posts and campfires made things definitely challenging but I love the warmth and glow of these pictures.
