Christmas Day

My wife and I pretty much did the same for her side of the family. We spent Christmas Day over and as you can see from some of the photographs here, we had some fun…

Enjoy!

Dalie (sister in-law), Carlos (wife’s cousin), Maria, Daniella (Daughter), Gabriela (niece), Maria (mother in-law), Carolina (Daughter), Eddie (nephew).

This picture and the next one have a story behind it and if I don’t tell it, you might think we are crazy… well, actually, you might think that anyway.

The two little ones (Eddie & Carolina) didn’t want to be in the picture and they were cranky. We got tired of jumping to try to make them laugh, so Carlo’s (Wife’s cousin) just started CRYING with them and as you can see everyone joined the crying club.

Christmas Eve

This year, we went to my sister’s house for Christmas Eve dinner, my little sister from Detroit is in town for Christmas and we had a blast. As a Christmas present from my wife and I to my sisters, we wanted something different, so we decided to do a family portrait as we really didn’t have any pictures of us together.

So the actual gift was 2 (8×10) frame portraits, 4×6 photo album with all prints and a CD of low-res…. I think they liked it, don’t you?

I hope you enjoy them.

Florecitas… (little flowers)

Estan son las famosas galletitas “Florecitas”. Todos crecimos con ellas cuando nuestras mamás no las daban y enseguida le quitabamos la parte de arriba para comerla primero (algunos hasta botabamos la base!). Luego de tener la mayoría de edad, nos comemos la galletita entera…

______________________________________________________

These are the famous cookies our mother’s used to give to us when we were kids. We used to eat only the top part but I’m sure we eat the whole thing now…

BTW, you can buy these delicious cookies and more at Souveniles de Puerto Rico

Enjoy!!!

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

I saw it and couldn’t resist the purchase of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens.

As soon as I got home, I loaded the lens into my EOS 30D and shot a couple of images… I was in love with this lens immediately.

These are some of the images shot this evening. Keep in mind that they were quick shots, but still, I’m very much in LOVE!!!

Enjoy!!!
