a montage

i wasn't sure as to the spelling of that word, montage. the more

i thought about the spelling of it i began to question the use of the word for what this blog is actually going to include. so i looked it up.

MONTAGE:

1.

a. A single pictorial composition made by juxtaposing or superimposing many pictures or designs.

b. The art or process of making a composition.

2.

a. A relatively rapid succession of different shots in a movie.

b. The juxtaposition of such successive shots as a cinematic technique.

i think this blog would be listed under definition 1b, just for your information.

i ventured into the city on saturday night and experienced my second viewing of the rockefeller center christmas tree. it was quite busy, to say the least, so it was difficult to capture the three of with the tree in the background - this will have to suffice.

seeing weezer at roseland ballroom was the actual reason for our night in nyc. they performed the entire pinkerton album as part of their memories tour - needless to say, it was amazing.

this past sunday was our annual linC christmas party. following the wonderful homemade dinner, before heading out to the holland home for some christmas caroling, a few of us took a rest on the floor. who needs pillows when you have stomachs?

yesterday my facebook status read as follows: "happy birthday to the most amazing woman in the world. just because she is my mother doesn't mean i am biased. i want to be like lois when i grow up." to prove the truth of the status, it had 7 "likes" and 3 comments to agree with me. i'm sure plenty of others were thinking it too.

things i am looking forward to in the next few weeks:

1. the satisfying feeling of knowing i am completely done christmas shopping

2. christmas eve restore service (not to use this as an advertisement in any way, but it will be at cedar hill crc at 5:30pm!)

3. christmas day and all of its traditional celebrations of the birth of our Savior

4. nyc ballet to see the nutcracker with all of the girls in my family

5. tentative new years getaway with the family

6. starting school on january 10th!
