Yesterday morning we went to Maggie’s company’s children’s xmas party and it was alright.  Brandon enjoyed doing the crafts and I like that they allow you to buy a gift for your kids that they’ll wrap and hand out.

LOL I guess I’ll have to get him that game. 😉  Brandon still kind of believe’s in Santa, he’s not sure but it’s cute that he gives it his all.  The boy had a birthday party to go to in the afternoon (as well as today) so I negotiated with Maggie for her to take him to the one on Saturday so I could do a photography thing.

Met up with Eddy downtown, unfortunately since it was so short of a notice no one else was available but that’s alright we still had fun.  I walked over 33k steps which I think is a record for me, boy are my ankles sore.  Anyway we went all over downtown and the pictures were totally worth it.

He’s more of an artist than I am, unfortunately it doesn’t come to me naturally but I still think I did alright.  I really enjoyed the nighttime shots, I don’t get to do it enough and it’s so much fun to experiment with the lights.  We wrapped up the night shooting the fireworks at city hall, it was the Cavalcade of lights, super busy but we found a pretty good spot with a great view!  Unfortunately my shots are a bit overexposed, next time I’ll need to raise the F stop slightly but it’s alright I learnt a lot.

We stayed home most of the day, it was super lousy weather anyway but in the early evening Brandon and I went to Kid’s fun city to celebrate Selina’s 8th birthday.  We know her from Scouting and it was nice to be there with the girl for her special occasion.  The roads were pretty bad but I have a great set of snow tires and drove slow so it was alright.  A tiring way to cap off a busy weekend but it was pretty good, suppose to snow all night so we’ll see tomorrow if I work from home or go into the office.
