Merry Christmas to.....ME!!!

I got my Christmas present early, a new camera!! I have been wanting a nice camera for a while now. I love taking pictures of the kids and playing around with editing them. Josh was just going to buy me one and surprise me, but then he found out that I had really been researching cameras and told me to pick one out and he would get it. Ummmm..........OK!! So after much debate between a Canon and a Nikon, I chose the Nikon D3000. Walmart actually had the best deal on it! I got it yesterday and have had so much fun playing with it and taking pictures. Finally tonight it occured to me that I had not done one single thing around the house all weekend!!! Josh may regret getting me this, we may have nice pictures but the house is gonna go to crap :) Here are some of my first pics. I am still figuring out the settings, and editing stuff. If anyone has any tips or info about this camera, or editing software, let me know!!!
