Hot Chocolate 6/365

For Christmas, my sister got me this very cool hot chocolate pot.

With which I made this...

And because I couldn't believe they did it again...

Reading Time 5/365

Are these pictures great?  Good even?  No, not particularly, but I love them.  I love them so much that I couldn't cut any from the sequence, so get set for seven of 'em!

 

Christmas Tree 4/365

Somehow I managed to hurt my neck while washing my hair this morning.  Didn't exactly make taking pictures of rambunctious toddlers a priority!  However, after they went to bed I was finally able to set up my tripod and take some close-ups of our tree.

Very minimal processing.

It was a "Very Lego Christmas" with Chris and I giving each other new Christmas Village Lego kits.

 

 A couple of favorite ornaments...

The tree-top angel I made a few years ago and absolutely love.

Bathtime

The boys' favorite time of day is bathtime.  They splash around, "float", "swim" and have a wonderful time.  The trick is getting pictures that capture their fun without being embarrassing if a future girlfriend should see it!

Boys and Their Toys

Sometimes they play with them nicely...

and sometimes they don't exactly follow the manufacturer's suggested use...

Happy New Year!

I never expected to have a blog about my life, but here I am embarking on a 365 photography project. As the mother of twin toddlers, you’d think I’d have plenty of photographic material, and I do. The trouble is grabbing the moments to actually photograph the mahem!

So, to kick off this project, first my last two shots from 2010.

My wonderful husband with the boys, just before bedtime.

  

And, one of my first shots from 2011.
