Holiday Photos!

As promised, some photos from the holidays!
None of us photographed a lot this time, as M was so ill ... we had other things on our minds than getting the camera. And stupid me forgot to bring my battery charger, so when my camera died I didn't even have a camera *annoyed!!*!!
Some of the photos of the girls here are borrowed from their mother since I didn't get that many this time.
(I do apologize that there aren't many photos of M, but in a lot of the photos we have she looks really ill, and I really don't want to publish that ...)

First out, photos of the girls, ranging from December 24 to December 31: (they have grown SO much!!)






The next batch of photos is a selection from a walk I took on December 29. We had the most AMAZING winter weather, I don't know when I last experienced such a lovely winter, with bright sunshine and high clear air, and LOTS of snow!! This particular day was a bit too cold for me though, we had about -25 degrees Celsius ... I didn't stay out for that long but I walked around the area where I practically grew up, so it was kind of a walk down memory lane - which of course is both good and bad.
Still, the photos turned out pretty well, didn't they?



These last two photos are rather special; the first one is taken with maximum zoom on my regular camera lens (the one that came with the camera when I bought it), and the second photo is taken with maximum zoom on the new lens I got for Christmas ... quite a difference, don't you think?!

Happy to hear you enjoyed the photos! :D They girls are SO big now, I'm amazed! M is reading now, which is so cool, and I has grown a lot too, she talks constantly and is fantastic at building sentences and explaining what she means! And she can count to five in English after their vacation! *adorable*
