Photo session with Jesse, Laurie, Rory and I

Monday, December 14th, 2009

On Sunday I did another photo session with Jesse and Laurie. They are my number one friends that I subject to photo sessions whenever I’m in the mood for some studio photography. But this time, I’ve decided that it would be nice to have some photos of Rory and I as well as the four of us together.

Here’s a photo of all four of us. It just so happened that both Jesse and Rory wore red shirts while Laurie and I had dark sweaters on.

Rory’s Apple Pie

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

While I was decorating the Christmas tree, one of the things Rory did was bake a fresh apple pie. He did everything from scratch. Sliced the apples, made the dough and baked it. It came out wonderful!

He even created a snake shape out of the dough which actually makes the pie have a face!

Christmas Tree is done

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Yesterday, Rory and I went and got a beautiful Christmas tree from the Wight’s Nursery in Lynnwood. It is as tall as the house and Rory placed it in the living room. And today, I spent time decorating it while he made a yummy dinner and baked an apple pie!
