Christmas pictures IV: High school gang

Jen's parents were kind enough to let us hang out at their house until 2 AM to drink and play Rock Band.

The whole group:


Jen have a staring contest with Phoebe. I was betting on the dog but, surprisingly, Jen won.

New camera

As a reward to myself for all my hard work baking cheesecakes for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I gave myself a well deserved pat on the back... and then went to Costco and bought a new DSLR camera. I've managed to take a couple of pictures so far that don't suck. (Although the first one is horribly cliched...)

Family Christmas pictures

My friend, Kate Miller, was kind enough to do a Christmas photo sitting for Tucker and Gracie. She got some really cute pictures; here are a couple of my favorites.







Kate is (obviously!) a professional photographer. She works in Pittsburgh and specializes in wedding and engagement photography, but I hear that she might be branching out into pet photography. Her website is Captivating Imagery Professional Photography.
