Toys R’ Us purchases!
Originally uploaded by mathagat.
After such a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great Aggie win over the Longhorns on Friday Matt and I decided to take part in the Christmas season by doing a little Christmas shopping on Saturday. Christmas shopping is one of my favorite things so I was eager to get started and really kick off the Christmas season. Matt and I headed out to Walnut Creek, a town about 20 minutes away with a mall and a Toys ‘R Us (very important). As you’ll see in our pictures Matt and I had a great time shopping and enjoyed our trip to Toys ‘R Us. We were also sent an early Christmas stocking in the mail with money to buy some stockings for our new little family. We found the perfect stockings at the Pottery Barn and look forward to using them year after year. Hopefully Santa will put a little something in them this year.
There’s just something about Christmas shopping that can really put you in the holiday spirit. Matt and I are full of that spirit now and look forward to being able to share the holiday season with family and friends this year. I know that we will have many wonderful Christmas memories to share as Christmas gets closer. Until then!

Turkey plate!

So, even though I had threatened to boycott the Thanksgiving holiday because I wasn’t in Texas I decided to get out my big girl panties and fix a Thanksgiving dinner. Matt was especially thankful that he didn’t have to eat a bowl of cold cereal on such a calorie driven holiday. It was fun to cook our very own turkey with all the fixings. Maybe a little too fun when you look at the amount of food I managed to cook. We will get to be thankful many times over the next week. =) But, overall today was a great time for Matt and I to enjoy the holiday and spend time reflecting on all the amazing blessings of the past year.

This is the piece I created for my final project in the 3D for Designers class we just rapped up this past Monday. It would be like one of those spots you see after a commercial break that leads back into the broadcast of the sporting event. I want to test out putting some video footage in the background where everything is black now to see how it looks.
Our instructor for this class, Jeff Pratt has spent the past 10 years as a lead animator at Pixar Studios here in Emeryville. He worked on pretty much all their major releases from the original Toy Story to The Incredibles. Needless to say it was awesome to learn from him. This guy can make pretty much anything happen in 3D space.
