Christmas Came Early!

To most this will probably be a boring post, but I'm just so excited I had to share. Today Tim and I took the plunge and purchased two key items for baby Hannah that I have really been wanting. After all, memories are important. It's the same reason my dad and mom, and I'm sure yours as well, carried around those huge video cameras on their shoulders... we want to make sure we can preserve our children's happy times. So thanks mom and dad for sacrificing your backs as I do love watching old family video and flipping through my beautiful scrapbooks. Today we joined the fancy camera club and purchased an SLR camera. After much contemplation, we went with Cannon's new model Rebel T2I and I already love it! We also got a camcorder for family videos. Hate to rub it in mom and dad, but it fits in our palm and weighs about 1 lb. So yes, we spoiled ourselves today, but that's okay, Hannah can't be the only one to get new toys:)

  1. no kidding Merry Christmas! I am so thankful that you could get the cameras because we do know how much we all like photo.video memories. kuddos to von and rob for the Disneyland trips with the kids on one shoulder and the suitcase sized video camera on the other. Also glad you got them early in case hannah comes early and so you might figure out how to work them by then. and show us! you might be a little occupied!! love you, from Mom2

  2. ahhh I love this post!!! I have been contemplating asking for an SLR camera for Christmas - figured it was time to upgrade from the old point-and-shoot. I think you may have convinced me to take the plunge! Which video camera did you go with? We were looking at the flip...

  3. No excuse now - you have a great camera and you will definitely use it scrapper. I plan on dedicating a portion of wall space to soon-to-be my niece and soon to be (whatever Ashlee and Chris are having).
