Bah Humbug – Mom*tog Monday Memory
I’ve been feeling a little bah humbugish about the holidays. We don’t have our tree or inside decorations up yet, I’ve only bought a couple of Christmas presents, and Buddy our elf, just made his first appearance yesterday. I feel so behind. Yet, it’s only December 3rd…
We did put up our outside lights last weekend. At least that is done. But, Chuck is now informing me that he needs to put up more lights. Men.
I love to take outside Christmas light pictures right after the sun goes down. You don’t need flash yet, and still get the glow of the lights. Just be careful your shutter speed isn’t too low. If you are shooting kids you will get motion blur! All of these photos were taken at 4:50. Right after the sun had set.

Why does K look so grown up here?? I think I like her in her cute jammies and diaper, she looks more like a baby that way.
