A couple of my favorite pics from those I took on Christmas Day. First one is my littlest wearing a Santa hat, second is my mom holding my newest little niece :)
Oh and a note on editing - I'm trying to make myself use Photoshop Elements 12 for my actual editing (other than the frames that I apply in Picasa for consistency there) so that I HAVE to learn how, but I'll admit I'm still having some frustrations. With these two pics for example, once I finished my editing on the first I went and saved it as "high quality" and suddenly my file size shrank to just over 1MB. >:-/ The second I paid closer attention and cranked it to maximum and my file size was a little over 4MB. The first time I did that the file size was suddenly like 17MB. UGH. I think I'm finally learning to pay attention to that at least when I save it. Kinda irritating at this point though.
