An Early Christmas Gift

The Music Man came home from work last Tuesday with an early Christmas gift for me.  He said that I had to open it then, because if I waited till Christmas I would be really disappointed.  I was totally confused, but went along with him, because well, I can't say no to him.  Ever.

So I opened it up and what did I find?...

It was a new camera!  Something I have wanted for years.  We have an amazing camera but it's a handful and not convenient to have for dance class and other snapshots I want to capture at a moment's notice.  

And ooooooooo, is this ever the best Christmas gift!  I was so shocked and so very, very blessed.  I had made a VERY passing remark at Best Buy a couple weeks ago and HE REMEMBERED!!!  You see, my husband needs a very specific list that includes aisle numbers and bar codes, so for him to do this totally on his own was so cool!

The features are endless and I have been busy playing around with them.  One of my favorites is the macro setting.  I get the most amazing pictures of things just centimeters away.  It's so cool!!!  So I thought that I would show you my beautiful Christmas tree using my new camera and my favorite new setting.  I will posting a whole lot more about this new little toy and all the fun, fun, fun things I can do with it in the near future.  

But for now, here is my tree...

I asked Natalie to put the candy canes on the tree and this is what we ended up with...

The Final Product...
My tree through my man's eyes...
My two most favorite people in the whole world!!!
