My current favorite photo is one I just shot of my son releasing the new fish into our new family fish tank. We're all pretty excited about this new venture, so I love the excited look on his face. Thanks for the chance to win such great prizes!

My current favourite is my husband and his brother at the Olympics in Vancouver...where this dressed up "Canadian" girl...(looked like a saloon girl from the old days except all in Canadian colours)....stood between them for a photo and cupped a palm under each of their chins...they both looked so cute(the guys!). LOL....love it!

My current favorite photo is one from this morning. My son was enjoying a bagel after violin lessons. He was in his zone, happy to have made music and enjoying a treat. I grabbed my iPhone and, from the driver's seat--at a stoplight, no worries--captured a beautiful look of satisfaction on his face. On the drive home, I asked if he had everything he needed and the answer was a resounding yes! My heart soared.

My grandparents sitting together and smiling. I know they meant the world to each other and after over sixty years of marriage, that photo spoke volumes.

One of my favorite photos is of my grandma and grandpa. My grandpa is holding a pie and is acting like he is going to splat my grandma with it. She is facing the camera and he is just out of her line of sight. He has a pretty goofy looking expression on his face and she is oblivious to what is going on behind her. I love the humor of the photo and miss my grandpa when I see it.

My favorite photo is the one that I just had taken of my 8-month old. I realized that he's starting to look like a little boy instead of a baby. How happy and sad at the same time!

My current favorite photo would be one I am about to post on my blog...it is of my son, just hanging out with us, and looking down rather than facing the camera. It reminds me of the glimpses of him I get every day and how happy he makes my life.

It's a little hard to describe my current favorite photo, taken last week, but I'll give it a try. This is a close-up shot of my 15-month-old g'daughter wearing her cousin's black beret, a hot pink shirt, and she has a crooked pouty expression that shows her two front teeth. The beret is actually on sideways, as it should be, and she's as cute as a bug's ear.

Thank you for hosting such awesome giveaways every single weekend! My favorite photo right now is of two of my daughters sitting in front of the fireplace. My four-year-old is sitting with her hands folded in her lap, dressed in her dress-up wedding gown complete with fancy shoes and a veil. My two-year-old is sitting with a leg kicked up, her hair sticking out every which-way with a neon headband, and just panties, no clothes. It just so perfectly captures the stark contrast in their personalities at this moment.

My favorite picture right now is a picture of my 10month old smiling impishly. I have it up at my desk at work and every time I look up and catch a glimpse I have to stop and smile.

thank you for sharing such a fun giveaway and thank you to your sponsors.
I'm going to throw my name in to the mix.... and my favorite is the one sitting on my desk of our family together in the fall taken several years ago before life took us on quite a journey. I really love seeing us all together in this one photograph.

My favorite pic right now is one my daughter took of herself on the school bus w/ her earbuds in and just a small view of the other students on board. It just captures her "right now" so perfectly!

Honestly, my favorite photo changes as often as my mood. Right now, it is a photobooth strip of my hubby and I the winter before we got married. We were both tired from holiday shopping, but I convinced him that it would be fun. The first three are of us making faces each other. The final one, a kiss -- romantic and sweet. That was 3 years ago. It's the only photobooth strip we have.

My favorite photo is one that I have of both my children hugging each other. The reason it's my favorite is because they had no idea I was snapping pictures and it's not posed ~ it's the epitome of true sibling love.
