Must Be Santa

It seemed like Sabrina was really excited to see Santa, so I in turn was excited to get some good pictures this year. Wouldn't you know that what she was really excited about was getting her little bag of candy. Santa had nothing to do with it. But at least he didn't scare her.

Daddy took the candy away in this picture, hence the outstretched hands. She is 100% her mother when it comes to her sweet tooth.

Birthday Blessings

Today is my birthday. I came home from work today to this beautiful bouquet from Darren and Sabrina. I also got sweet birthday cards from both of them.

Sabrina is getting to be quite the cheeser when it comes to getting her picture taken. She has turned into a regular poser! Some of my greatest blessings--the man behind the camera (my sweet and loving husband), my precious daughter, and the little baby boy that grows a little more within me each day. We can't wait to meet him in February!

24 weeks along!

Sleep, Baby, Sleep

Where is Sabrina?

Wore herself out and crashed on the floor!

Sabrina HEARTS "Purses"

Jack O Lantern

Look at that stem! Darren is the official pumpkin carver in our family. Sabrina had absolutely no interest in the whole process-oblivious to the whole thing. Oh well, next year will probably be a different story.

Trick or Treating

Getting to the goods!

Halloween Costumes

Sabrina is currently very into 101 Dalmatians and asks to watch "puppies." So I was thrilled when my friend Holly Deaver showed up at the ward party dressed as Cruella DeVille. I love this picture of her and Sabrina and have ordered it in a 5x7.

Way to go all out, Holly! You had the best costume there!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a witch and Sabrina was my little black kitty cat--winning for the scariest costume.

Trying to figure out how to get into her costume contest prize.

Ward Halloween Party

My first ward Halloween party in 3 years that I wasn't partly responsible or completely in charge of! Sabrina had fun at the cake walk and even won a cupcake.

Picking Out Pumpkins

We live down the street from the greatest pumpkin patch and nursery. We had fun picking out our pumpkins 10 minutes before closing time. The old farmer warmed my heart when he told Sabrina she had a million dollar smile.

Olsen's Halloween Party

I almost didn't recognize my mom when she opened the door. In my opinion, hers was the best costume of the night by a mile!

My dad, the bloody surgeon.

My parents.

Raising a Reader

One of the great joys of my life...my daughter shares. This picture makes me so happy.

One Yellow Balloon, One BIG Girl

Sabrina LOVES balloons and points them out whenever she sees them (they are often surrounding the many car dealerships around here.)
