30 Day Challenge | Day 30

Well here it is, the last post. I didn't think I was going to get it done. I haven't taken a picture all day. In fact, I didn't get I could complete the challenge. I really thought I would have given up a couple weeks ago. Ok I didn't post every day, but I did better than I thought I would!

This afternoon as I drove by the tree out front I saw rain drops hanging of the Christmas light cord and I thought, oooooooh!! But it was POURING!!! So I left it, well that and I would have been late for school pick up. I'm glad I did wait because it stopped raining tonight and I got this interesting shot.

I shot it with my 50mm and a 20mm extension tube at 1.8 1/250 iso 3200

I like the bokeh the lights are giving. I'd like to try again with a tight aperture. Maybe another night.

Wow only 2 days left in the challenge!?! That means 2 more days till December. That means Christmas season my officially begin in the Funk house. And that I have 2 more days to get some advent calendars for the kids.

This was what we were up to today! No rain and not too cold, that means a perfect day to erect the lights of Christmas!

30 Day Challenge | Day 27

I snapped this one quickly with my point and shoot just before the girl's competition this morning.

Keira placed 5th in one of her dances and Kylie got 2 second places and a 4th!! It was a good day :)

30 Day Challenge | Day 25

Can't keep snow out of the photo of the day today! I did take a picture yesterday, I just never posted it. So here's 2!

My son loves eating snow. He sat out back just munching away this afternoon. When we told him not to eat the yellow snow, he simply answered, why?

My angel, making angels.

30 Day Challenge | Day 21

I spent the afternoon hanging out with some real monsters. Literally.

I was helping my friend Terri at the Make It Show selling her Monster Friends.

These are a couple shots of my favs. I think one of the things I love about the Monsters, is how each one has a personality! And no 2 monsters are alike!

When I got home this was waiting for me!

30 Day Challenge | Day 20

Someone must have heard my complaint about a lack of flowers to photograph, so when Sean got home from work last night, there was a bouquet in his hands! So they are the subject of today's POTD!

This morning we went and visited Santa. Our friend who is a photographer and his wife make a weekend photo session with Santa. This is our 3rd year and it is so refreshing to see what pros our kids are with Santa. This is Kaylum's first year sitting alone with the man in red. While he's never cried, he was always a little unsure about him. But this year he went right up on his lap and told him what he wanted. A Go Diego Go backpack and Batman Bat Cave. The girls of course had no apprehensions getting on the big guy's knee. Kylie said she wanted an alarm clock and a tinker jewellery box and watch. Keira asked for a sparkly box, books and a video camera. Here's last year's pics.
