Meyer Wrap Up

Today was very easy going. We got up when we wanted and sat around. The most we did before tonight was photograph Paul’s gun collection and make noms for tonight.

We went to mass at Green Creek which was exactly like it was last year, not bad just a little too much cute.

Afterwards we met the Meyer family for the annual Christmas Eve party. The food was excellent as always. My favorite dish was a buffalo chicken dip I got another helping of.

The gift exchange was average with a lot of stealing, superior rules I regret not a adopting last weekend (one steal per gift per round, 3 steals on last round), and average presents. Beth’s cousin Kelly received my Yazoo pint glasses and six pack of Pale Ale. I got a Pampered Chef carving set. Beth was stuck with a cinnamon candle and napkin holder. She wasn’t pleased.

I spent a much of the night with my 70-210mm E Series lens in hand shooting people across the room. I had decent light int he dining room but shots to the kitchen were dark if my flash didn’t reach. I shot just shy of 300. Everyone was very photogenic and didn’t freak out when I was pointing my camera at them for 10 seconds as I manually focused.

Tomorrow I’ll celebrate with Beth’s immediate family with a remote connection to Holly is South Dakota. I talked to her today and realized how much I miss her.
