Official Sheehan Family Christmas Photo

In case you missed out on our Christmas card . . . here are pictures of us with Santa at Disneyland -- our "official" family portrait, Jack by himself with Santa and a shot taken during his extensive listing of every last item he desired for Christmas, complete with demonstrations and sound effects. Poor Santa.

Just testing the Flickr-to-blog posting capability, which was broken earlier today.

Christmas Tree Trip, 2009

As we do every year, we hit a Starbucks prior to our tree-selection trip last week. As usual Jack struck a series of nutty poses, all of which are catalogued here for your enjoyment. Pictures of the house and tree all decorated for the holidays will be up over the weekend.

Nice quick shots

I posted a pic below that I took of Jack on a night when I was testing out some old lenses on my new Nikon D40 a couple of months ago. I like them so much I put a few of them on Flickr. They are some of my favorite pictures of Jack and you can enjoy them by clicking here.

Disney Holiday Party 2009

Last night we went to the Disneyland Family Holiday Party and had a great time. Got a lot of good shots along with a lot of blown ones 'cuz I can't seem to focus my only fast (and non-autofocus) lens in low light. But there are some really good ones all the same. Check them out by clicking the photo above!

Breakfast with Santa

Went to a breakfast with Santa this morning. Santa was, as usual, perplexed by Jack's enthusiastic and highly detailed recitation of his list (see last year's visit for a similar reaction). Click the photo above for more pics. We'll be visiting Santa again at Disneyland next week. Later, we're picking up our tree!

Flickr update

Hey everyone, I updated my Flickr photos with a collection from last night's Christmas parade. Had some lens difficulties -- curse you old lenses, manual focus and shallow depth of field, curse you all to hell!!! -- but there are a few keepers in the mix. Enjoy.
