Photo Checklist and new Christmas Digs

My Relief Society had a wonderful "Christmas kick-off" party and I was asked to talk about photography and "Capturing Christmas".

It was terrifying as I really don't have any clue what I am talking about. Ever.

But I loved doing it and getting to know some wonderful women in my new ward. Anyway, I had come across a few cute photo checklists on Pinterest, but nothing that was on the mark. So, I made my own version for the event.

I took some new pictures of our new digs to mix in with some older photos... and since my little lesson was on "Capturing Christmas" and how to celebrate the season through photography, this is me sharing...

Our advent calendar.
It doesn't fit on the kitchen counter like it did at our old house, so it sits in the window above the sink.

The decorated front door.

A couple new ornaments on the tree.

We gave the tree a little lift in our new house. It seemed a little short with the vaulted ceilings, so we threw her on top of a little table. I likey.

Finally, and real mantle for the stockings.

I still love these stockings my mom monogrammed for me.

I love that my "White Christmas" movie poster has a better spot here. It got a little hidden in our old house. *Oh, Bing!*
