Guess what Santa gave to me early this year?!

Yup, I finally have a decent camera again. Hubby was going to have my DSLR fixed but the repair shop told him it was already gone to heaven. So since our budget didn't allow for a new one I thought I'd be camera-less forever. Not so said Santa, and this made it's way home to me early so that I could capture all the fun leading up to Christmas.  Thanks Santa baby!

So expect a great deal more updates in the future now that I have a camera again, I feel my bloggin groove coming back!
