please come home for christmas...

Well hi there... So it's Christmas Day today... really. but it doesn't feel like it. at all. I don't know why, but it just doesn't...

We went to Julian with my cousins, and their friends earlier (just a few hours... ha ha), and we walked around the lake... and, on the bright side, I found my new favorite lens! it's an older Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 AI, so it's all manual, but amazingly shallow depth of field. If any of them aren't in perfect focus, forgive me xP becuase this is the first time I am using a manual lens. Personally, I think this is the some of the best work I've done... it was all fun =D

So little kids + expressions = priceless. Enjoy!

Hey Mommy! Look what I found in Julian!

awh!!

Sophiee!!

yay group pic! =D

yeahh focus isn't perfect...

One of my favorites for the day

Back at cousins' house, getting ready to leave for church for their music thing or whatever...

So yeahh... overall, we had a good time, but it doesn't feel like Christmas still... like every year, there's like a "Christmassy" feel that I just am not getting this year... but... thats just me...

...

Cries will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night
