<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whenever we travel somewhere, my mom likes to buy an ornament for our Christmas tree that has something to do with the area we visited. Some of them include: Canada, Mt. Rushmore, Disneyland, Tennessee, and San Francisco. But our latest edition, and a favorite for all us kids, is our Disney Cruise Line ornament from our Disney Wonder cruise in February. I think it will be the favorite for a long time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is December second, which means Christmas is just 23 days away. I've already watched several Christmas movies, but I can't wait to watch The Santa Clause movies which I have set to record on our DVR next weekend. Those are some of my favorites. And my Christmas station on Pandora has been on pretty much all day every day, which I awesome.<br /><br /><a href="http://s992.beta.photobucket.com/user/sereinalovesvintage/media/DSC05140Editedcopy.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Christmas Ornament" border="0" src="http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/sereinalovesvintage/DSC05140Editedcopy.jpg" /></a></span><br />

Thanksgiving was pretty simple this year, just hanging out and dinner with Grandma and Grandpa. Friday we all went Black Friday shopping (at 3:00AM!), which we've been doing for about ten years now, and came home with some good deals. And all weekend we've been eating tons of Thanksgiving leftovers, which I love.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've put some lights up in my bedroom window, the house is filled with Christmas decorations, we've been listening to lots of Christmas music on Pandora, and I have already watched two Christmas movies. Oh, and we just got our tree. Christmas time is definitely here!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">-A couple months ago my sister Tiana got her new camera, a Panasonic GF3 in the mail. It's a mirror-less interchangeable-lens camera, so the body is quite small, about the size of an average point and shoot, but has interchangeable lenses. It's takes great pictures!</span></div>

-Our friends Rose, Carrie, and Emmalyn had never seen any of the American Girl movies, but had read the books, so whenever we could we've been getting together to watch them all. We watched them all in date order; Felicity, Samantha, Kit, and Molly. We finished this past Sunday and are planing on watching The Princess Diaries next.<br />
<br />
-Two weeks ago our family went to a costume party that our friends hosted. I dressed up as a Disney Tourist. It was awesome.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvj2WeSYH6L4XhrYhitwtIx9zMR9uVXqLrj0jAyx2LWHBOa0XPBHUJdXZ8v7OR7GFIDxpzTk_tK5De2hbfEge7_vuqNLVZvDBGJVo4sthbJj8SuekGFCCpzdeGlJuL3ZqOONC462dbSl0/s1600/39c3fd40209d11e2939222000a1de7b2_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvj2WeSYH6L4XhrYhitwtIx9zMR9uVXqLrj0jAyx2LWHBOa0XPBHUJdXZ8v7OR7GFIDxpzTk_tK5De2hbfEge7_vuqNLVZvDBGJVo4sthbJj8SuekGFCCpzdeGlJuL3ZqOONC462dbSl0/s1600/39c3fd40209d11e2939222000a1de7b2_7.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Follow me on Instagram! I'm "sereinab")<br />
<br />-Tuesday I watched Bells are Ringing, a musical staring Judy Holliday and Dean Martin. I first saw it 2-3 years ago when I was just getting into old movies, but I enjoyed it even more this time. It's got some catchy songs and my sisters had them stuck in their heads for days! lol!<br /><br />
-Yesterday I suddely decided to take some video of all the pretty fall leaves and such outside and made a video montage with music. I turned out pretty good!<br />
<br />(for best quality, be sure to watch in HD!)<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A couple weeks ago I got a Facebook message from a Megan asking if I'd be willing to take her senior portraits. Less than a week later we found ourselves at the town center and trail area that was just perfect for the pictures she wanted. She totally rocks the natural poses and is the only person I've met so far that doesn't actually end up smiling when I ask for a straight face! Hahaha!<br /><br />I first met Megan three years ago, at a our homeschool co-op, and now she'll be graduating this spring. Time sure has flown by! I have lots of good memories of the lunches we spent walking around outside and all of the teen events and swing dances we went to. She's a fun girl to hang around with!<br /><br />P.S. If you want so see more pictures, I posted the rest on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.450100461694461.94746.127155077322336&type=3">Facebook Page</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other evening, quite randomly and suddenly, decided I wanted to take some fall pictures. The lighting was perfect for portraits, although it was a bit chilly outside. I had Tiana, Alina, and Daniel dress in some fall-ish clothes: sweaters, boots, scarfs, and such. I was able to try some new poses, which I found on Pinterest. There are so many awesome ideas on there! After we finished, we went inside and ate candy corn. Yep, I like fall.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />It's kinda funny, because I think I probably have taken more pictures of the neighbors cat, Gino, than of our own cats. You'd think that our two cats, who will be turning seven this month, would sit still longer than a young kitty around a year and a half old, but that's not the case. That's okay though, cause Gino is such a pretty cat. Siamese will always be my favorite, but I love his light green eyes. And I think our cats like having a buddy to play with.<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />We also got the "Tool Box", which is all sorts of fried foods. My favorite is the curly fries. Only four of us could eat it, since Tiana and my mom are gluten-free, and we could barely finish it.</span></div>

<br />
This summer I made several bouquets to set on the tables when we had friends over for dinner in the backyard. I used roses as the main flowers, along with lavender, hostas, violets, maple leaves, and some little white flowers that I don't know the name of.</div>

It looked simple to make and I had all of the ingredients on hand, so I went of to the kitchen to make some. We had family visiting us from out of town and it was a hit with everyone.<br /><br />The directions were to make it in the microwave, but I prefer to use the stove, so that's what I did. I also added chopped up pecans, cause I like the crunchy-ness it adds.</span><br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gino may be the neighbors cat, but he almost seems like one of ours. He's only a little over a year old, but it feels like he's lived here much longer than that. Our two cats, Koko and Doji, hang out with Gino all the time. You'll see the three of them in the yard, sometimes just sitting around, other times playing and chasing each other. Doji is the one who usually just watches and keeps an eye on them, while Gino and Koko will goof off. They're such fun cats and it's quite entertaining to watch them play from the living room window.</span></div>

<br />
This years camping trip was at Mt. Rainier again, just a the Ohanapecosh campground instead. Only one family went with us and we booked sites right next to each other. The sites were next to a creek, which was lots of fun to play in. We would also set our chairs in the water and sit and enjoy the creek.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Our first dinner was hot dogs roasted over the fire. They taste much better fire roasted! Plus they were fun to cook!</span><br />

Since we were just at Mt. Rainier last year, we didn't go to Paradise or go to view the mountain. We stayed at our campground the whole trip. There is a hiking trail that starts and ends in the campground and takes you up to the falls.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />On our last day we walked around the campsite looking for a place to walk down to the river. We found this neat area with lots of rocks to sit on and just enjoyed the river for a while.</span><br />

We all had a great time and we were sad to leave. Us kids all had fun playing card games, going on walks in the dark of night, talking about cave deer, and chatting around the campfire. I had a wonderful time.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">What was your favorite place you visited this summer?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For quite a while now I've been wanting some new headshots of myself. The pictures I'd been using for my profile picture here on Blogger and my about me page were two years old, so I though it was time for an update. But the problem was, taking pictures with the timer was difficult. The camera can't auto focus when the timer is being used and running back and forth from behind and in front of the camera is tiring. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />So I finally got a wireless remote for my Sony. It's very simple, just two buttons: the shutter release and a shutter release with a two second delay. It focuses before snapping the photo and was only $7 on Amazon. And I love it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />I was finally able to get some beautiful headshots that I love. The forest area next to our house made a perfect background for some simple and classy portraits.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My dear friend Sarah and her now husband Donald were married in the beginning of June. Sarah offered for me to be one of the photographers and I accepted . We've been friends for about 10 or 11 years now and have done many different things together, so I greatly enjoying being able to be a part of her special day. Thank you so much Sarah for letting me be your photographer!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After spending 8+ hours at the wedding venue, I was worn out! There was so much that I learned about photographing a wedding and now fully understand how much work it is. There are quite a few things I would do next time, but I'm sill very happy with the photos I captured for them.</span></div>

And the ceremony begins! One of the flower girls got a little scared at the top of the isle and froze. Here we have the bride trying to encourage her to throw the petals. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Tuesday morning we were up bright and eairly to go blueberry picking with two other families. It was something that I had never done before, but it was quite fun.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't care for the taste of blueberries myself, but I had a wonderful time picking them. The bushes are fairly tall, making them easy to pick off.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For those who have followed my blog the last couple years, you know that my family usually visits family in Oregon about once a year. Since I've grown up going to visit Aunt Carol and Uncle Terry, they're house is like a second home to me and my family. I've shared some pictures from our trips in <a href="http://sereinasphotography.blogspot.com/2010/08/trip-to-oregon.html">2010 </a>and <a href="http://sereinasphotography.blogspot.com/2011/06/visiting-in-oregon.html">2011</a>, which you can check out if your interested.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year, we decided to go on the 4th of July. We left bright and earily on the 4th, around 5:30AM to be exact, so we had a lot of the day to relax. Most of us were tired by the time it got dark, partiularly myself, so we didn't say up to watch the fireworks. However, as the sun was setting, we had some fun with sparklers and some smoke bombs.<br />

One of Daniel's favorite things to do while we're at Aunt Carol's is to catch lizards.<br />

Recently Tiana and Alina made their own bows and arrows out of PVC pipe and brought them with us, since there's no shortage of space at Aunt Carol's.<br />

<br />
The weather was warm when we got there and just kept getting hotter by the day. On our last day there, it reached 90°F and I was melting! I don't do to well in the heat, so I was happy when after walking around town all afternoon, we found a water fountain at the shopping center that Tiana, Daniel, and I got wet it. It didn't take long before I was soaked, head to toe!<br />

After grabbing some frappuccinos in Starbucks in town, we went to this really neat candy shop that we had never been to before. They had the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory playing in the back and had lots of fun and unique items and candies.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday we arrived home from a trip to Oregon, which I shall be posting about sometime soon. We drove down of the fourth and spend several days there afterwards. I've also been busy doing different things for my homeschool graduation at the end of the month, which is going to be a big Contra Dance with lots friends. I'm super, duper excited for that, cause dancing is one of my most very favorite things to do! But right now I'm here to share some yummy strawberry jam I made.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end of June, we went strawberry picking for the first time in quite a few years. Even though it was cloudy, it was fairly warm out and soon we were ready to leave, after we had picked 35lbs of berries!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jam had been something that I thought would be neat to make, but always seemed a bit intimidating, because of all the boiling of the cans and lids, keeping them sterile, etc.. Another thing I didn't like was all the sugar that was used in the recipes. I always try to make my food low to no sugar or use something like honey or maple syrup instead. So after finding a <a href="http://www.simplebites.net/sugar-free-honey-strawberry-jam/">recipe</a> online with just four ingredients, plus it used honey instead of sugar, I decided to can some jam for the first time.</span></div>

<a href="http://s992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/sereinalovesvintage/Sereina%20Charise%20Photography%20Blog/?action=view&current=DSC03072copy.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/sereinalovesvintage/Sereina%20Charise%20Photography%20Blog/DSC03072copy.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />The recipe was quite simple and preparing all the jars wasn't that bad. Since I didn't have a canning rack (or whatever they call it) for in the bottom of the pot, I used a few old towels so the jars didn't touch the ground or rattle against each other. I also just used regular tongs since that was what I had. The only thing I would want next time is a canning funnel, cause that would make getting the jam into the jars <i>way</i> easier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://s992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/sereinalovesvintage/Sereina%20Charise%20Photography%20Blog/?action=view&current=DSC03083copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/sereinalovesvintage/Sereina%20Charise%20Photography%20Blog/DSC03083copy.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And how does it taste? It's delicious. Everyone likes it and Daniel, who uses jam pretty much daily, has only been using this stuff every day instead of the store bought jelly from Trader Joe's. Now I call that a success!</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806735043667291220.post-80505969201941548262012-06-29T15:33:00.000-07:002012-06-29T15:33:12.903-07:00Daisies at the Park<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">After all the rain </span><span style="background-color: white;">lately</span><span style="background-color: white;">, we've finally been getting some warm weather. Yesterday was sunny and warm, so we spontaneously decided to go have a picnic at the park. The grass was filled with thousands of little daises, one of my favorite flowers to take photos of.</span></span></div>
