Nativity Children -- Day 348

Tonight Amber and I babysat these four. They love to dress up and thought it would be fun to create a nativity scene. It turned out so cute!

Skate Buddies -- Day 37

We joined a group of friends for a fun night of skating. I took a few photos but none of them turned out accept this one. I actually took this one on my Canon G5. It seemed to handle the lighting conditions better than my Rebel. I had the ISO up as high as it could go (400) and then I used Neat Image to reduce the noise when I got home.  Amber and James really enjoyed skating together. They agreed to pose for me, and I snapped the picture. I just wish I'd paid more attention to composition and had captured their skates in the picture too. :)

Fun with Papa -- Day 242

Tonight I got the opportunity to take some photos of some friends' kids. :) I came home with quite a few shots and had a hard time choosing just one. :) I like the action, smiles and especially the expression on James' face in this one. He was having a lot of fun with his "Papa."

Proud Campaigner -- Day 190

Tonight I went to an Ice Cream Social to hear local candidates give speeches to convince us all to vote for them. :) I enjoyed my ice cream, hearing some of my favorite candidates speak[specifically Jack Goodman and Bill White :)], and photographing some red white and blue. :) This is James, the son of a friend of mine. :) He was riding high on his Grandpa's shoulder's proudly wearing a bumper sticker in support of Mr. White. His daddy just happens to be Mr. White's campaign manager. :D

Boyhood -- Day 89

This isn't the best photo as far as quality, but I like how it shows the boys, being boys. They were being silly for my camera, hiding behind their plates, etc. :)
