Wow.
It's New Year's Eve.
I am so proud that I finished this project. By my calculations I did miss a few days - about 4 or 5 total, but with a move, vacations, and a toddler, I'd call that a success.
There were definitely days that it felt like a chore to snap a not-so-great photo of something (and you can tell which those were!), but overall, I have grown a lot in my photography over the year.
I got a wonderful new camera this fall, flash, two new lenses, am and still learning to use them all together.
It's been a great year with big changes. William went from a toddling little one year old to a running, jumping, chatterbox of a two year old delight. We moved to a new town, Esch started law school, and my business exceeded our goals by quite a bit.
Can't wait to see what the next year brings for our friends and families.
And finally, no drumroll required for this one, just a food shot to round out the year. I tried a VERY yummy black bean and jalapeno hummus today to take to our friends' house for New Year's Eve tonight.
I may be seen later this evening snapping shots of bubbling champagne, or our little guy playing with his friends, but I wanted to be able to make the final post on the actual, final day.
2011, you were a great year.
2012, looking forward to meeting you tonight!

31!
Happy birthday, Esch!
We had a yummy dinner (garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, marinated and grilled lemon pepper shrimp) and Daddy blew out the candles... William's favorite activity.

Christmas Eve Tradition
My grandfather read my brothers and I "The Night Before Christmas" every Christmas Eve when we were little, and this year William was treated to the same. He was absolutely rapt while his great-grandparents read him the poem. I will never forget this moment!
