37:52 Emotion

We run through a lot of different emotions over here.

And while I knew I would have lots of different opportunities to capture some, what with five kids ranging from expressive, to funny, to sensitive, I ended up with something completely different than I thought I'd have.

We've had a few birthdays in this household lately.

Brant turned six. We didn't quite know how to wrap his bike, so we brought it into the room and then told him to open his eyes.

Surprise!

Then, two days later, while all the family was gathered for a weekend camping trip, I threw a surprise birthday for my hubby.  Yes, the photo of him when he realized the party is his is fun.  But I liked this one from the day better.

The children are excited, Dean is delighted, and his mother is ever loving.

These photos make me smile.  Do they have that effect on you?

I'm just as curious as you to see what kind of emotion Maaret's photos are going to evoke.  Who bets smile and who bets frown?
