Annual Photoshoot & Yule-Renovation-Madness Descends

[Photos taken 10 – 23 December 2020, posted online 13 May 2021. It’s ascension day and a public holiday. Two days ago I got my second Pfizer covid-19 shot, and spent most of yesterday in bed. Feeling much better now.]

For too many years to count, I’ve done a ‘photoshoot’ of the kids in November/December to put on the annual family photo-calendar. This year I decided to try using the new green wall in our bedroom as a backdrop, but had a harder-than-usual fight trying to get the lights to cooperate. Maybe I should finally watch those youtube videos I’ve been meaning to instead of trying to reinvent the wheel every time?

With Christmas looming, Emma’s “art-corner” under the stairs drew my ire, as it was an absolute horrible mess. Making things worse were the boxes and boxes of random stuff tucked under the stairs, that had been mostly untouched for almost 10 years. In a fit of apparent insanity, I pulled all the stuff out from under the stairs, nearly giving poor Finnur a heart-attack. Happily, the impending-yule adrenaline meant things got squared away before too long, and Emma got the entirety of the under-the-stairs-area as her domain.

As one piece of furniture from Emma’s room ended up under the stairs, her room no longer made any sense, so the renovation madness crept into her room as well… (60-ish images total)
