Cute-est card from friends kids

budding architect

photographed a gingerbread decorating event today and while most kids made a cute mess, this one boy made a house with some kind of rooftop feature.. complete with structural beams and some design elements. impressive!

Ice Sculptures

Pretty winter things at another christmas shoot... too bad they can't be done indoors in a heated room


there was also a live reindeer at the event. and I overhead this fascinated boy say to his dad, "Wow dad, it's Santa's reindeer! How did he get here?!"
and the dad said flatly, "He came in a truck."

Fireworks

quick shot from a shoot last night at a college that had a Christmas event going on... which included a nice fireworks display. In Singapore, I guess we get to see fireworks once or twice a year, but here fireworks come out pretty often-- to celebrate the start and end of summer, spring, independence day, christmas, random community day-- pretty much any event you want to light!
it was snowing (which got me worried abt wetting the camera) but fortunately it didn't last long... and the other activities were indoors (like talking to santa claus.. who told all the kids to be good and do well in school, asked them what they wanted for christmas and made sure the parents could hear their request)
