We had the privilege of attending the baptism of Shaw and Maureen's little Sophia Rose this week. It was a beautiful ceremony. I took a handful of pictures but this was by far my favorite.

Happy New Year everyone! I spent a couple hours digging out from our blizzard. Yikes.
Merry Christmas!
Please don’t kill me, kid.
Last night was the Fargo Force Make-A-Wish night where a group of families and volunteers attend, and the kids go out on the ice during the first two periods. Fans are encouraged to donate to the foundation and it’s all-around a pretty cool event that I think the kids enjoy.
I’m along to take a few pictures during the game and during their time on the ice, although I’m pretty sure I look weird walking around while they’re all standing still. Oh well. We had our friends come along and their son, Noah, attended his first hockey game.
It’s been unusually warm this year and Maggie in particular has enjoyed the cool weather. We’ve gone on several long walks of late. I’m not sure how she ended up on the park bench but once she was there, Nila insisted we take a picture of the “nicest, sweetest, softest, cutest little black dog.”

Ah, December in Fargo. That means a couple things. First, SNOW. Second, it’s Molly’s birthday (today, actually).
Uh, gotta go.
Thanksgiving was also the introduction of Kinect to the family. What that means to me, is that someone needs to take pictures for blackma fun. So, putting my flash up front under the tv and standing behind everyone while they play Dance Central seemed like the perfect idea. I didn’t think of this until three people had already played, but six turned out pretty well. Next time I’d like to do it with another (very soft) light behind the people to add a little light. Next time…
For the Holmquist Thanksgiving celebration, Anna made nametags for everyone. There were actually 8 (6 below + Anna and Grace). Unfortunately the shots of Anna’s and Grace’s didn’t turn out. I can assure you they were equally cute to the 6 that did turn out.
You might be thinking I’m cheating by using another Thanksgiving picture but since we celebrated Thanksgiving twice last week, I figure it’s fair game. :)
