Countdown Begins

Fifteen days before Christmas and we haven’t put up any decor yet.  The house, being renovated, badly needs a general cleaning now that the carpenters are already on their holiday break.  So far, it still looks bare.

One of the things I’m excited about is the amount of light coming from the living room sliding door (it used to be a window only).   Lots of natural light.
So I decided to do an impromptu photo shoot.  See that red armchair on the left up there?  I turned it around to face the window. 
I asked Gabby to pose so I can test the light.
A minute later, Marco joined in.

They had so much fun.  Fortunately, my kids are comfortable in front of the camera.  They practically grew with a lens pointing at them.  I chose some shots and whipped up a quick gift tag for their Christmas presents in school.

Making family gift tags is something I look forward to every Christmas.  Below are from the previous years:
