Best Face

by

The theme at I Heart Faces this week is “Best Face Photo.” This week is a little different because it has to be a photo taken in either December ’09 or January ’10. I thought about entering this face, but instead I decided to share a picture of my favorite face in the whole world.

This week I Heart Faces is celebrating their 1st Birthday. There are lots of giveaways and fun things going on there. You should take a peek. You can check out the other entries for this week, too. See it all by clicking on their cute new logo below.

Senior Class Christmas Party

Class Christmas Party

Way back in December we had the senior class Christmas party. One of the families hosted it at their house and cooked us an amazing sit-down dinner. They provided the turkey and ham while the rest of us brought traditional side dishes and desserts from our home cultures. Everything was delicious!

Class Christmas Party

We started the party off with a gift exchange. I tell you, these folks know how to give gifts. No white elephants here – well except from Matt who gave one of the boys Christmas themed toilet paper and canned snow. Yes, really. Anyway, the kids got clothes, jewelry, make-up, and all kinds of fun stuff. They know how to take care of each other. I was super excited because I got a case of Diet Dr. Pepper. Yay! It’s nice to have families with commissary connections. 🙂

After dinner we went outside and played in the snow. The kids did some running and sliding on the sidewalk, we broke a piñata, then we all lit sparklers and took fun pictures. It was a great night!

I Heart Faces

by

The theme this week at I Heart Faces is actually “I Heart Faces.” The idea is to creatively place the I Heart Faces logo into five of your photos. This was a good challenge for me. I don’t usually add words to my photos because I’m not sure how to make it look natural.

This one is my favorite. It doesn’t look natural, but I just think it’s funny.

Goodbye Howards

I think the logo blends well in this one. I like the mood of this picture a lot.

Middle School Chapel

Well, honestly, I just love this face. She’s beautiful. All the time. I wanted the logo to look like it was carved into the tree. Harder than it sounds.

Senior Class Party

I think this one is a kind of quirky fun. While it doesn’t look necessarily natural, I think it does blend in with the photo. Plus it’s a picture of one of my favorite people, so how can I not love it?

Apfel Hof

OK, I really wanted this one to look better than I think it does. The idea of the logo as syrup sounded good, but I had a hard time getting it to actually look like syrup.

Pancake Breakfast

What do you think? Which one is your favorite?
