January 5 - Multiple Photos

Fun challenge. My journaling:

Ah, the annual Christmas card photo shoot. We hate it but for some reason we continue to put ourselves through it every year. The first step is staking out a decent location. We used to hunt for the perfect scene but since Danny was only home from USC for Thanksgiving, this year we borrowed the Nosan’s yard on Thanksgiving Day. Julie is usually my model for some test shots to get the location selected. Then, I get the boys into the shot, get my settings figured out and decide where I’m going to stand. We beg a bystander to take the shots. This year, it was Daniel’s roommate, Josh, and Debbie. Next, we desperately try to smile normally and try not to make weird faces (ahem, Gary who insists on talking through the whole process). We check the photos, make adjustments (see the dumpster behind us?) and try again. And again. And finally success (with a little help from Photoshop).
 
Decided to restart my monthly summaries (mostly because looking through them is the only way I can remember when things happened!). Have a bit of catching up to do, this is from this time two years ago. Despite being 'the height of summer' the weather is just as atrocious this year!

Journaling: After 26 years, Argentina won the Football (soccer) World Cup for the third time. Even in a country where football fuels passions that 5 million people took to the streets to celebrate forgetting differences and problems, it was a surprise. It was really a party, without police presence, or organization, almost without incident. Just joy.
 
Thanks for the challenge. It was just what I needed to get this page done for my hubby and son. They did a boys trip to the rose bowl to see their favorite college football team... even though Chase goes to BYU, he's a Utah football fan through and through. :giggle
