2011. in photos.

Ashley Sisk hosts a fun linky every year called Memory, Dreams and Reflections, meant to get you to look back through the year and choose your favorite photos to fit the suggested "themes". I wasn't going to do it this year, because, well, it takes a long time! But then I remembered that I had tonsil surgery on Tuesday and I'm still recovering, so really, what else am I going to do? (And I was right, it DID take a long time!). But, I had fun looking back through the year's photos...I hope you do too!

Without further adieu:

Me!

This one is pretty self-explanatory. It's me. End of story.

I Love You

I love these boys.

Still Laughing...

This photo probably isn't very funny to you. At all. But it reminds me of a time when we literally could not stop laughing. Chris and Jeremy were facetiming each other while sitting right next to each other, and, all I can say is it was HILARIOUS.

Winter Wonderland

Birthday

Charlie's First Birthday. He had a donut party. It was awesome.

 

Friends

This was from the same trip as the facetiming photo above. You can see the kids are just as hilarious as their dads are.

I Was AM Inspired...

I'm always inspired by this woman, my Grama. She's 92 TODAY! She raised 7 children as a widow, and she did a damn good job at it. Happy Birthday, Grama!

Spring Fever & Macro

Travel or Vacation

This was taken on a long weekend that Chris and I took to San Francisco, out the window of our hotel room. I experimented with HDR on this shot and really liked how it turned out.

Summer Days

I love this shot of Camden playing with a bucket of water.

A Day In My Life

Feed the baby. Clean up after the baby. Repeat.

All Smiles

This picture makes me smile, because WTF is Charlie even doing?

 

Autumn Harvest

Family or Home

My crazy family. Near our home. (See how I used both prompts? I'm THAT good).

Celebrate!

Nothing says "celebrate" quite like fireworks! (and without the hangover!)

Let's Do It Again...

Why yes, that IS a photo of me and THE Mama Kat. She's famous, you know! I met her at a blog conference I went to this year and I would LOVE to go to another conference. It was really fun meeting people whose blogs I already knew!

I Miss You

I don't see my dad as much as I would like to. I miss him!

Beautiful

 Grace is beautiful, inside and out.

(how cheesy is that?)

Dress Up

A monkey and his banana. You know.

Holidays

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but Christmas is my favorite holiday to photograph.

My Favorite

I love everything about this photo. It cracks me up, and it signified the END of my Project 365! 

Don't Ever Change

I love the relationship between father and daughter. They are such good friends and have so much fun together, and I hope that never changes.

Just Because...So There!

Just a photo that I like.

For no specific reason. 

Hopes and Dreams

Don't let anything keep you from soaring to new heights in 2012!

Thanks for all of your support over this past year. I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane. If you've got a couple hours to spare I highly suggest you join in too. It was fun!

Happy New Year!
