December 25th - Christmas Day

The 24 hours of Christmas!
Every year, Cathi and I split our holiday between her sister's house and my sister's house.
Our Christmas started last night with a get-together at Cathi's folks, followed by a late night
at her sister's (where we stayed overnight), an early morning opening gifts, a breakfast,
pack it all up and go to my sister's and start all over again, followed by dinner.
We finally got home tonight around 7:00, at which time Cathi and I exchanged gifts.

I took so many photos today, but I felt the flash on my camera was too disruptive,
so I boosted the ISO to 1600 and went with a slower shutter speed.
The shots had a more natural feel, but the trade off was the increased noise.
You can see what I mean in this shot of my brother-in-law, Mark, and his granddaughter Lailah.

We had a long, but wonderful, Christmas.
We hope your Holiday was wonderful, too!

Ah, when the spirit of the season gets lost, you can find it in the little ones. She's a sweetie!
