100th Post

I just realized that this is post 100 when I signed in to dashboard today. I am inspired by all things good and beautiful and I love the focus and perspective that this silly little blog gives me. 100 posts means I have recorded at least 100 fabulous memories of my life on here. It means hundreds of smiles, cute stories, and happy times. Thank you for sharing it with me.

In honor of 100, I will be playing the traditional blog giveaway. Comment here…leave a warm fuzzy for me, a happy holiday thought, a silly joke…whatever…and I will be selecting one person to recieve a fun holiday gift. Spread the cheer! I will pick a winner in a few days…let’s say by the week’s end…

I meant it when I said I am inspired by all things beautiful…what is more beautiful than a happy & healthy little family. I had fun taking some pics of my sis’s family for her Christmas card. Here are a few of my favs…without spoiling some I think she will use for her card…I will share these…

Party of 15

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

We spent the last day of my sister’s family visit at Disneyland…it was the icing on the cake for my girls, and I think everyone enjoyed the time together.
Here is some of the family entering through main street (all decked out in Christmas cheer…it even snowed on Main Street as we left that night!)

Priceless

My wonderful sister Gena was such a good sport and measured up to the task of taking my family pics this year. I just handed my camera over to her, and she shot like a pro. It never hurts to find someone who will take your pictures for free (smile)! I am so impressed at how these turned out, and can only image how she will photograph with a little more time and familiarity with this camera. Thank you so much, Gena. We were a tough family to photo with all the restless energy going on!

Here are some of my favs…

the fun part of preparing for this shoot was designing up these little dresses. I had a little bit of a pretty in pink moment and ended up taking some dresses that I found on clearance at TJ Maxx (my size) and cutting them up and dreaming them up into little girls dresses. I loved the way they turned out, and it was awesome not having to hem them. So much of the finishing was built into the peices that I used for these dresses…it was so much fun!
{yeah…ava actually looking at the camera!!!}
