AND, the winners of the "Winter" photo challenge are…

This weeks guest judge: ME!
This weeks challenge: Winter.
The challenge: The challenge will be based around your children. Take or find a photo of your baby (or kid… or puppy… or kitty) and what winter looks like to you. Picking out a Christmas tree. Snow. Rain?

Wow… you guys are getting SO good! It’s getting so freakin hard to pick winners! This weeks “winter” photos were especially difficult to choose from!

My top 5 picks:

• First: Letters to Little

Why I chose this photo: “This week was ESPECIALLY difficult to choose a winner for the winter challenge. But, even with all the beautiful photos… I kept coming back to this one. I know I say this a lot, but it was so magical! This little baby outside in the cold winter weather. Everything is so soft and fuzzy except for those beautiful eyes: so sharp! Wonderful job!”

{Letter to Little}
