It seems like all kids go through the stage where their smile is less than stellar.  The “cheese” smile, if you will.  Yes, Anya appears to have this mastered.

Fortunately for us, we have one kid that really likes to smile.  What a little ham.  This brings to mind the time that he didn’t even let them take pictures of him, as he was throwing such a fit.  He has matured a lot in a whole year…thank the good Lord up on high.  I love the first picture of him…posing like that with his hands in his pocket he looks like he is almost four, doesn’t he? *sniff*

Being the sweetie that she is, the little girl redeemed herself and gave us those dimples and her fabulous little “I’m a stinker” smile.   Does she not look like a little doll in that outfit??  Well, she normally does anyways, but it just accentuated her cuteness factor.  That’s just my completely biased opinion, of course. 😀

In case you hadn’t figured this out, these are the daycare pictures, and there are a few good ones that I like.  Of course, I bought all the packages since it was cheaper than just buying the shots I wanted.  I think they do that on purpose. 😉  I just wish Anya had a better smile (just any smile…I’m not sure what she’s doing actually) in the picture of her and Kailan.

I tried to color correct a few of the pictures since they were too warm, but did it on a computer without my beloved Photoshop.  That’s why they are five different colors.  I suck.
