Christmas Eve Traditions

Friday, December 24, 2010

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! I had a really fun day today. We went

hiking with some family friends and then hung out for a bit before going to get

a picture with Santa. This evening, we went to our friend's church and enjoyed

the Christmas Eve service. It was a good day. Here are some shots from our

hike. The first is a shot I've always wanted to get - when everything is in focus

but the water is soft. I was so happy to get that shot. The second is of our

doggy friend, Molly. The last is of our friend "grabbing that shot" with his

iPhone.

50 Word Story:

Outdoor's Eve

Whether it be snowshoeing, skiing, walking, or hiking, they were always out

on Christmas or Christmas Eve. While most were holed up in their cozy

houses, listening to Christmas carols and drinking hot cocoa, they were out

braving the elements...perfectly happy with that. It had become a much loved

tradition.
