I spend a lot of time on Pinterest and see all of these fabulous holiday photo challenges and beautiful pictures of everyone’s decked out Christmas trees etc.  Last year I took a ton of photos of our Christmas, but this year I guess I used up all my cheer in November.  (The tree went up on Thanksgiving and the presents were wrapped the week after…) I don’t have any cutesy little holiday photos or anything like that, unfortunately.  This post is going to be dedicated to all of the random things that I shot during my Christmas break because it’s my blog and I can do what I want. 😉

My Christmas gift from Jason was a macro lens for my camera.  Yay! So of course I had to take it out and play with it.  Here are some example shots while I learned how to use it! Still a work in progress, don’t judge!

Since we wake up at 4:30 for work every morning, sleeping in for me is usually 6:30 max.  This means that I get to watch the sunrise while drinking coffee in front of my computer.  (my favorite way to start the day!) Sometimes we get some truly awesome ones.
