It’s Christmas time – Ottawa photographer

December 27, 2022

Since we are still in the “celebration period”, I feel it is okay to post this a few days after the big day. This season I was thrown a bit of a curveball when we had a surprise renovation beginning December 14th! And then the big snowstorm changed our plans for this year as well. Regardless – I hope you all had the merriest of holiday seasons!

I LOVE Christmas lights!! But we were doomed from the beginning of December. The star did not light up. But I love it – and was not ready to give it up just yet. So we replaced the non-working 10 light strand with 35 teeny lights. It glows 85% more now! (Someone would say, if they understood fancy math equations.)
This is THEE Christmas song this year.
There are so many awesome things about this photo. I LOVE holiday birds. PLUS, an excuse to decorate my bathroom. Just look at that face! He’s ready for a Canadian winter.
When your cousins are in a play – you go see it! What an awesome night out. Such a funny show. And the sets were beyond amazing. #supportlocal
We purchased a new patio door the end of June and it has been on back-order since then. We didn’t think it would be happening until the Spring/Summer 2023. This was not the case. December 14th it went in! Forcing us to clear out our living room as much as possible. The kids ate their meals with the Christmas tree in the kitchen. After all was done, we we were left with this lovely patchwork of putty, new wall and trim that all needed painted. We knew this would not be happening before Christmas – so I came up with a creative way to cover some of the mess. (Introducing our “elf family” banner.)
With tree back in the living room – we were able to add our newest Christmas ornament. This little guy represents our time at the cottage this summer. I love his little fish on the line!
This guy was happy when this day arrived! (He even got one of his grades Christmas morning!)
Snowed in for Christmas eve? No problem!! We ate treats and played games. The Jackbox TV even had holiday themed rounds! #RELIGION
The kitties: Christmas morning vs Christmas night.
Every year we make a holiday drink. This year it was a Frosty the Snowman cocktail. And while the turkey, stuffing and everything else was AMAZING (I cannot take credit – because my husband does it all!). I have no photos to show for it because this drink was mighty strong! Haha! I soberly took these lovely photos before it all went down. #tipsyholiday

As I write with a cat sitting on my head – I just wanted to quickly wish you all a very Merry Christmas and an enjoyable holiday season all around.
