There was one big package under the tree...I had a feeling it would be a camera. I opened it last in hopes that it was...AND...it was sheets for dorm bed. Completely deflated I thanked my aunt and uncle for the sheets. I was grateful for them since I only had one set at school. Standing up to walk to the kitchen to throw away all the garbage my cousin said "Hey Kid, we found something." Suspicious and curious I walked over and in his lap was another box. "Here ya go Kid, you deserved it." I unwrapped it to find a Nikon D40X box...my jaw dropped. No way. No flippin' way.

Yes way.

Here are some shots so far.

History.

And of course Buck had to be in the photo shoot.

Faithful and patient companion.

  • Hahaha. Trio, I think you'd have to fit the criteria of being an awesome little cousin. :D Hah. I love those guys. Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've got a ton to learn, but I'm having fun with trial and error for the time being. At some point I'm gonna have to break down and read the manual. Until then...its just pure dumb luck.
