Is it Christmas yet?

I think the kids are starting to think the gifts under the tree are just decorations ;) They have been awesome with the tree this year though and not messed with it or the gifts..so I really can't complain. Just a few shots of Eli, I was playing around yesterday even though the weather was nasty making it dark in here, these were WIDE open at 1.4 and ISO 800 (ekk! How I long for a D700 for less noise with even higher numbers..)



and then just one of E enjoying his indoor pool aka bath time!

a few more from yesterday!

C's turn for pictures today!

And she was such a little model!

1. the picture idea that started our session today

we set up the tree

I played around tonight with the camera before the kids went to bed, I'm amazed they aren't a huge blur with my low shutter speed ...not exactly the look I wanted but I still have a while before Christmas to try again!
