Christmas

I went down to San Diego and spent Christmas break with Shawna, Bret, Josephine and the family. It was great seeing everyone down there again. It has been over a year since I had gone down that way to see everybody. Josie is growing up quick. When Shawna took me with her to pick up Josie I wasn’t sure she would remember me. To my surprise, once she saw me her eyes lit up and she ran around excited. On the 24th Shawna’s birthday we went out to a great meat market/restaurant to celebrate. Her usual birthday meal of lobster was missed this year since there is going to be a new addition to the family in March. So instead this year she had a good sized steak wrapped in bacon. Later that day Bret brought out Shawna’s birthday cake.

Thanks to Bret, Shawna was able to have her lobster on her birthday after all.
The rest of the images are an assortment from the 24th and the 25th.

Family Photo

Taking a family photo is almost impossible since my brother hate anyone taking his picture. I have no idea how my mom talked my brother into it, but he did not disappoint with his inability to try to have fun in the picture. He would not smile and made it fairly clear that he did not want to be there. After a while he loosened up some, but was still a pain.

I would like to thank Krista for helping to take the pictures.

Faculty Dance Concert

This was the last of the events that I shot for the Theater Department this year. The lighting in this show is what I was really looking forward to seeing. I was in the Lighting Design Class this semester and as a finial project most of the students designed the lighting for the dance pieces. The lighting and the dances all looked great.
