Wow I've done it! Another whole year of taking photos daily. It's been hard work and I've almost stopped several times but it's lovely to look back on, so I'm glad I stuck with it. I can definitely see a real difference in the quality of my photos now too so it's been worth it.
It's been a pretty special 10 days in this house with Christmas preparations, ballet performances, time spent with family and three excited little girls. So here they are, the last ten pictures from 2013:
Day 356 – “Last Show Day”
Day 363 – “A Beautiful Walk
Day 364 – “No Daisy, These Are Mine!”
Day 365 “New Years At Grandmas”
Day 356 – “Last Show Day”
The girls had their last ballet/ tap performance today and I helped out. They were very sweet but exhausted now and ready for Christmas. This evening Husband send I finished all the wrapping and enjoyed a glass of wine. We are ready!
Day 357 – “Daddy's Glow Sticks”
The girls are loving the glow sticks daddy brought back but they are dwindling away now. A pretty quiet day. Popped over to see my Sister and boys this morning then enjoyed a lazy afternoon.
Day 358 – “My Happy Little Elves”
Took the big girls to see the film Frozen with their Cousin, my Mum and Sister. Took this picture in a shop on route. They were so excited it was contagious. A lovely day.
Day 359 – “Christmas Mayhem”
The madness and mess of Christmas morning. A lovely, relaxing day spent with all my family and lots of yummy food. The girls are loving having their cousins here and it was lovely seeing them together.
Day 360 – “Fun At The Park”
Everyone came to us today. We put on a yummy spread and then took the children out to the park for a bit. This is one of Husbands photos as mine have gone missing (don't ask!) This evening my Sister & Boys stayed for a sleep over. It was so good to catch up properly and relax once they were all in bed.
Day 361 – “A Lazy Day”
A lovely relaxing day today. We did very little, the girls played with new toys and we just chilled…perfect!
Day 362 – “Tired And Lost”
A trip into town as my watch stopped on Christmas Eve and I'm lost without it. Spent a little time looking at the sales, enjoyed a Pizza Hut treat and got lost looking for the car. Poor Poppy was worn out.
Day 363 – “A Beautiful Walk”
A much needed walk to Woodchester Park. A lovely bright sunny day and a great opportunity for taking photos. You can read about it here.
Day 364 – “No Daisy, These Are Mine!”
A bit of a tiring one today. I was on a cleaning and sorting mission but no sooner had I sorted one room the girls had messed another up. It was driving me nuts and I just ended up exhausted. Daisy was annoying Rosie, Rosie was annoying Poppy and they were all annoying me! The rain didn't help. We should have all gone puddle jumping but never mind. This afternoonRosie was very sleepy and fell asleep on me. It's been a busy week!
Day 365 – “New Years At Grandma's”
We are up to see the rest of the family today and staying over night to celebrate New Year with them. The girls are really excited as they are seeing their Cousins and haven't been here for a while. It should be fun.
Hope you've all had a very merry Christmas and wishing you all a happy and healthy 2014.

Thanks for linking up to Project 365 this year and well done on completing the year.

January 3, 2014 at 10:31 pm (11 years ago)Your lovely comment really made me smile so thank you. I started the year with my iPhone & occasionally borrowing Husbands old dSLR and as I started using it more and more he brought me my own. He’s been giving me tips & advice too. Hope to get even better next year!

The picture in the bath made me laugh, balancing a pot on the wee ones head. Oh dear at not being able to find the car, there is nothing worse…presume you must have found it eventually
