this is my daughter and son at before leaving to attend my cousin's wedding back in 2003. my son was the ring bearer...and my daughter just looked too damned cute!
so I must admit. I did not take this photograph. but my Dad did....I thank my Dad for my love of photography. you can read about him here. I am about 8 or so in this photograph. the jewelry and headband came straight out of the halloween box. I grew up in a house where every halloween, "the box" came out. it was full of great things to dress up. some of the things were old, like the black Dracula cape. my great uncle's friend made it. and yup, I have the cape. always have since I moved out and always will. I have a box for my kids, too. it comes out early October and then it goes away the first week of November.
our phys ed teacher teaches second through fourth grade to bowl...she then takes them on a field trip to the bowling alley. one of the highlights of the trip is when they turn on the black lights. I tried to capture the excitement of the kids, dancing around to the holiday music. 
there was an entire section devoted to miniature rooms.

I was disappointed, however, that we were unable to view any Van Gogh or Monet, two of my favorites. my son also had hoped to see Andy Warhol works as he had just studied him in his art class. the impressionism wing and modern art portion were not open to the public at this time.
what did you do this holiday?
