I cried Christmas morning.
I did. Sweet, happy tears.
Somewhere between childhood and now, I have morphed into my Nana Midge.
She always cried when she got gifts.
I cried when I got my daughter's handmade gift from school.
I teared up when I got my sweeeeeet caran d'ache crayons
and PITT pens. (Yiipppeee!)
But, I felt like bawling my eyes out when I opened my new
Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.
I love...no, no...I adore this lens.
It is amazing. :)
Some pictures from Christmas...

| Ahhh, the wonder of Christmas |
I must have missed the "make a face" cue.
It is now the last day of 2011.
Crazy. Where did that year go?
There have been many ups & downs this past year.
The same for you I am sure.
All I know is that I am looking forward to the new year ahead.
It is new and so full of possibilities.
There are so many things to look forward to and embrace with arms wide open.
Let's run into 2012 feeling brave and ready to grab every opportunity, shall we?
I hope you have a spectacular New Year's!
