Christmas in the eyes of my youngest kid.

We were visited by my wife's sister this Christmas and they brought along some gifts for my kids. They decided to take some rest from the long trip but before doing so they gave each kid the corresponding gift boxes. Seeing this moment as an opportunity to capture some nice expressions on my kids face, I hurriedly took my D70 with a 50mm lens and fire away some shots. I think he really enjoyed receiving the biggest box among the 3. ;D

    Thanks for viewing Brian. She (my wife's sister) is really trying to keep that smile off her face when I took this shot. She's glad that my youngest kid really liked her gift for him. I'm also glad I was able to capture that happy expression from him when I took this shot. :D

    Size matters, Dude. The bigger the box, the better! Nice B&W. You caught interesting expressions on both subjects.

    Yeah, size does matter even for adults. rolleyes1.gif Thanks for viewing, John. I guess I just got lucky capturing 2 different expressions on this one. :D
