a favourite!

Over at I Heart Faces earlier this week, the theme was Favourite Face....but the photo had to have been taken during the months of December or January. I haven't been taking many pictures since the weather turned cold, so I didn't have any great shots to enter in the contest. I took this picture back at the end of September of my niece, and because I am so honest, I couldn't enter it in the favourite faces contest. But this is one of my favourite face photos I have taken this year, so I wanted to share it.

We were just waiting in line for the Ferris Wheel ride at the Ancaster Fair and I was taking goofy pictures of the my girls and their cousin, and I happened to get this shot. You just never know when you are going to get a great one!



And here it is in colour...I still can't decide which one I like better!

the season of giving

I know that it is getting a little late for Christmas pictures, but we have been having issues with our computer, and I just had to share these.

For Christmas this year, the girls decided they wanted to get each other a Christmas present. They each chose the gift to give, they each went with me to get the present, they wrapped the presents themselves, and even made cards for each other. On Christmas morning, they were SO excited about giving these presents they insisted that they be the first ones opened.

Look how excited Abby is about Emma opening her gift!


And Emma is equally excited about opening it..(it is a newer book called 'The Dork Diaries')


They each wrote some really sweet things about each other in the cards they made:


And Abby was thrilled about her gift from Emma-The Wizards of Waverley Place Movie


I love it when this time of year brings out the best in people. This 5 minutes at the beginning of the morning was the highlight of my day!
