Christmas in June

Yesterday was Christmas for me . . . maybe for the next few of years! I got a new toy and it looks a little something like this:



The Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS - isn't it just every girl's dream come true? Ok, maybe not, but for ME it is and I love it! We went to the Witts for dinner last night, and like any good gift, I couldn't stand to part with it so I brought it along. Here are the first shots I took with it. I'm very impressed so far as it was very low light and some of these were shot as low as 1/20, etc. Yay for Canon! Thanks to all of my friends for letting me have a camera in their faces all the time!

A rousing game of MarioKart:






After MarioKart, we moved on to Jonathan's request for Bandu. We were skeptical at first, however the game proved to be more fun than we thought! I think it's pretty self-explanatory from the photos. Be sure to click on this series for a better view of Courtney's great facial expressions and her gravity-defying structure (until that last shot).



Jonathan's winning structure - he's hard to beat!
