We have about two dozen snowflakes hanging from our dining room ceiling right now. Carolyn made them in December as part of our Winter Wonderland Christmas theme (because 56" of the real stuff just wasn't enough), and I'm pretty sure she could go into a lucrative paper snowflake business if the whole grad school thing doesn't pan out in the fall.

We tend to have these themes that last well past the celebration. Our dining room remained an aquarium for a good two months after Jack's third birthday, and stars donned our ceiling for the entire Summer 2008 after his space party. And we can't forget Charlie's "This" party--that's right, we gave a one-year-old a party in honor of his favorite word at the time: this (words equipped with arrows pointing to the appropriate object, of course).

I put the tripod on top of the dining room table, opened the shutter for 4 seconds, and changed it to B&W to increase the contrast. Done and done.
