365: Day 360
Celebrated Christmas with our "family-by-heart". They are more than just close family friends, so we call them our "family-by-heart". This is my nephew Jackson and the Hunter and Gabrielle.
365: Day 359
My littlest nephew Silas is such a happy baby! He loves to drool, giggle, fake cough, grab his feet, and smile.
365: Day 358
For Christmas Eve this year, we rented out the "Nara Chalet" and had a big family sledding party, complete with cocoa and a fireplace to warm up in afterwards. Here is a great action shot of my mom and nephew going down the hill!
365: Day 357
Making Christmas cookies! My grandma is home with us for the holidays. I love this picture of my nephew Jackson (in his Spiderman suit, of course) with his great-grandma. He doesn't want to leave her side!
365: Day 356
It's so great to be back in Upper Michigan with my family for the holidays.
The birds love the feeders in my parents' backyard. I took this picture just as something scared them all away.
365: Day 355
Taking a break from cleaning and backing before my trip home to enjoy a cup of cocoa by the Christmas tree.
365: Day 353
Enjoying dinner and drinks after work with friends before we all leave for the holiday break.
365: Day 349
I flew back to New Hampshire and had a layover in New Jersey. We flew right past the Statue of Liberty and had a view of the NYC skyline in the background.
365: Day 348
After a hard couple of days, it was so great to be with family. This is my mom and her siblings who were cracking up about something. I know my grandpa would have wanted us to all be smiling and happy!
365: Day 347
As hard as my grandpa's funeral was, I was so glad I could surrounded by family. After the funeral, 24 of us all went back to my grandma's apartment to share stories and memories. As we were doing this, my niece decided to try on my cousin's high heels and walk around in them. It was a great way to get us all to laugh!

365: Day 346
I flew into Grand Rapids to be with my family after the loss of my grandpa. As hard as it was, it was comforting to see all of the wonderful things he did with his life. It made me so proud to say he was my grandfather. Miss you grandpa.
365: Day 345
While staying in Keene for the night I received the phone call that my grandfather had passed away. It was a whirlwind of emotions; the obvious sadness of the loss of a great man and an important influence on my life and a relief that he went quickly without suffering. My grandma asked me to sing one of my grandpa's favorite hymn's at his funeral.
365: Day 344
Another evening spent driving to Keene for a work event. As we pulled over to put more windshield washer fluid, I took this picture of the beautiful sunset.
365: Day 341
It was another great holiday party! This year was a Gatsby theme and the girls went all out!

365: Day 337
I invited some of the girls over for a "Clean-Out-the-Closet Party". We brought over any old clothes we didn't want and swapped them!
365: Day 326
Discover UNH Day on campus. It was amazing to hear the stories of these three high school students. Awesome day!

365: Day 320
A friend and I went for a chilly walk around Fort Foster and even tested the water temperature. It was a windy, chilly day along the shore.
365: Day 319
The "onion volcano" at a hibatchi restaurant where we went to celebrate my friend's birthday.
365: Day 318
Me and the little girl I babysit for, who is not so little anymore (almost 10! I can't believe it!).
365: Day 317
As a co-worker and I were driving to Keene for a work event, we noticed the pink sky ahead. As we rounded a corner this was the view. We both jumped out and grabbed our cameras just in time to catch this picture.
365: Day 316
I went to a friend's house for a makeup party. All of us girls brought over our makeup and watched a demonstration on how to do smokey eyes. We had a blast!

I had the amazing privilege of photographing this cutie pie, Miss Maddie Richer. She was such a great little model!
