I visit a wonderful website/blog called "we picture this" Mamarazzi Site. You can find the link on the side of my blog. It's a great place to catch beautiful photos. They pick a new theme each month and the contributors post photos that relate to that theme.
This month is "Eyes" and since I cannot yet contribute to the actual site, I'm able to post my interpretation of "eyes" on my blog.
I took this photo of my dear daughter this summer as she was holding a caterpillar in her hand.
The camera I shot this photo with is a basic Sony Cyber-Shot (nothing fancy).
I just love this photo b/c her eyes are so big and blue and honest. She loves bugs and loved looking for caterpillars this summer.
Thanksgiving at Grandma & Grandpa's
So, I got a new camera this weekend and am so excited to play with it! The first thing i noticed in the difference of my pictures was the color. The colors seem so much richer! I'm hoping to learn a lot from this camera and try to capture the best pictures i possibly can! These are the first pictures I took on Saturday at my niece's Birthday party.
It was amazing the difference a year makes. K has been with us a little over a year and she has opened up to everyone! As soon as we arrived at the party, she was off! She let everyone and anyone hold her-so loving, so fun and not shy at all! Very different a year ago when she wouldn't leave my side!

Cousins O & E (who turned 8!)
Cousin E was reading to K-it was sooo cute!
G w/ a blue frosting! Mmmmmmmm!
We kicked off the Christmas Season this weekend by watching "Charlie Browns Christmas" A favorite! O drew the picture below after the movie was over. I thought the similarity was striking! :) Notice Snoopy saying "woof!"
We took our annual Christmas photo today-took lots of shots w/ the new camera! I will post the official Christmas card shot on Christmas Day, so as not to spoil to those receiving a card. :) But, these below were a few fun shots as they started to get giddy. The best feature on this camera is rapid shooting-so i can hold the button down and it shoots and shoots and shoots-never missing a good shot!
I thought these two pictures were fun!
