Sparklers

Haven't seen these types of sparklers in a long time.  We didn't see any shows from our room, so lit our own.  Here's some photos my mom snapped just now:

Hope everyone had a wonderful celebration!

Banquets and birthdays

It's been Celebration Central round these parts lately.  The past week and a half, in a flash:

[last wedding of the year]

[a 21st birthday]

[thanksgiving]

[chinese banquet birthday dinner]

The fridge is full of all kinds of leftovers!

Phew!  We're all caught up!  Upon the suggestion of M+M I've reformatted the memory card on my DSLR and am now able to upload pictures without the USB cable.  Makes life loads easier.  Which will affect my blogging.  For the better.  I hope.
