Big Springs Christmas Hike 12.26.11

Out of seven possible participants in the Big Springs Christmas hike we had four. Hummmmm, that's more than half:) Bob was the photographer.  Did we even get a photo of him?

Here's a 2012 treat! A previously unpublished Smith Christmas card:)

Whitney Bean Bunny Bear

At 12 years old the hormones have got to be roiling.  Sometimes she is good, very, very good and other times she is horrid. Most of the time she is very, very good, and sometimes she will practice. I figure she won't see this post because I'm sure she'd rip my head off.

Shannon's New Dooooooooo

A little Christmas present for Shannon a bit early.  Haley McIntosh did a good job cutting Shan's hair according to Shan's specifications.  I discovered it's called an "A-line"--I also say a "bob," too.  It's darling.

Ocean of Clouds

Bob captured a couple of HDR photos of the sunset two days ago.  Very, very nice--

Shannon's Birthday Chullo Hat

Hey, I finished it one month from the time I received the kit from knitpicks.com.  Shannon picked out this chullo hat for her birthday which was in October.  She really, really likes the llama patterns, so I squeezed them all in. She looks great in it and you know a teenager likes it if she wears it to school:) Shannon also picked "autumn colors" for her ortho rubberbands.  Very complementary I think.

Autumn Light

I love it.  I love the colors of autumn light.  Here's an HDR(high dynamic range) photo of our front porch.
