Christmas 2013
The girls didn’t ask for much this Christmas, so Ellie was showered with Rapunzel and princess gear.
Samantha got a Rainbow Loom, and some headgear. Both girls got luggage, which they love dragging through the house and packing up.
Brian got a hot dog fork and some clothes.
And I got a new bike (as seen behind Samantha above) and some new kitchen supplies. Overall, we had a great morning!
Christmas Eve
We stayed at home on Christmas Eve and started our day making sugar cookies. Samantha has been begging me to make some, so I thought we’d spend our day off making treats for our neighbors and for Santa!
Brian does a good job rolling out dough. I always make it too dry.
And I helped with the decorations.
Then we took our Reindeer Food outside to sprinkle in the yard. The girls LOVE doing this every year. Luckily, they both came home with a pack from school.
Now, we’re ready for Santa!
Decorating the tree
Decorating Our Tree
I’ve been wanting to do a time-lapse video of something around here. Decorating our Christmas Tree seemed like a perfect fit for such a project. I put the camera and laptop on the piano and using EOS Utility I shot tethered every 10 seconds. I used ImageMagick to crop and resize the images to 1920×1080 and then finally to sequence them as an MPG.
