Gorgeous, sleepy, snowy Saturday.
A rescheduled dinner.
Cancelled Christmas party makes room for long conversation and dessert.
Hilarious laughter.
Grateful for family and friends.

**I did indeed pick a theme for this year’s DPP. It’s portrait time for me—all people, all 25 days. My husband says I’m only allowed to use him once. After December 1 I told him, “Well, it’ll be another 23 days of Livia then.” ;)

Nothing says Yuletide quite like an arm fart. At least, nothing says Yuletide like an arm fart when you’re seven years old. I’m going to have to whip out my camera faster and in a stealthy ninja-like style if I want to capture Livia in a candid moment. She went from placing an ornament on her little tree (ah, such a classic moment) to mugging for my camera to arm farts. Such is life in the Tredway household in 2011.

Back by popular demand is the December Photo Project Flickr pool. While the point of the DPP is to take photos and show them off to the world on your own blog (or another personal chunk of internet), I agree that Flickr makes easy work of showcasing the DPP. So join the group and show us what you’re shooting!

Also, we’ll soon have links to all DPP participants so you can peruse their sites on your own time. I will also feature various DPP images here on my site.

Thanks again to Kristen of Winged Feet Design for the awesome DPP badge for 2011. I think she did a wonderful job! Check out her Etsy shop for more fun creations.

Happy shooting everyone!
