Okay, so since I was having a little trouble getting motivated for a picture of the day I've decided to complete this December photo challenge. I'm not going to do it in any order, I'll just keep the list around and see what I can complete. Hope this helps!

Tonight I started out taking pictures of presents under the tree. The lighting at night is difficult to work with though. So I begged Ethan to hold a present for me. He finally agreed and we made a little game out of him hiding his face behind the present and me trying to catch a photo of his face when he moved the present. This shot ended up working really well. The focus is the present (checking off #5 on the December list) and Ethan is in the background. I'm back!
