366collagewebresThe final month! Although there are still a large amount of phone photos and days where it was an effort rather than a joy to remember my 366 project, I had a lot more fun with the project this month documenting the countdown to Christmas with a toddler experiencing Christmas excitement for the first time.

IMG_0568-copyWe had a bit of snowfall this morning .I have a similar shot of Arlo looking out of the window at the snow from the start of this project, so it was nice to repeat the shot now that he’s almost a year older.
