2012 CHRISTENSON FAMILY CHRISTMAS VIDEO

My gift to my family for Christmas.

WINTER SOLSTICE MORNING: 12.21.2012

Today was predicted  to be the "End of the World".

The Mayan Calendar supposedly ended today.

To "observe" this day,  I went for a very early, very dark, and very cold hike

to the top of some mountains above Salt Lake City.

.....

Early morning twilight with the planet and stars still visible.

The lesser lights make way for the greater light.. the sun.

....................

At exactly 8:00 AM (the number 8 is symbolic),

the sun began to rise above the peak of a mountain in the distance.
Instead of the world ending, it actually is a beginning. The beginning of a new Day.

THE COMING OF THE FULNESS OF THE SUN

Fun with Daddy's Shaving Cream

photos taken a few days ago on November 28, 2012 at bathtime

Since I don't shave very often... we have plenty of shaving cream left over for Eden to make a mohawk. Good times in the tub.
