This week's smiles.....week 2

What can I say?.....thank you so very much for joining in this week with your wonderful photos and what fab photos you all shared.  There were......

• Children ...smiley faces from MaggieC and those at play in the snow from Caro and Angela. A snap of a little man's first day at school from Tracy.
• Animals...Lynn's little rescue dog  and  Annette and Elizabeth's cats.
• Snow....featured in so many this week [I wonder why?].....we had my Jo facing blizzards to snap a little owl in a tree, Elmo was snapped at play in the snow by Bumble Vee and Jozart snapped her winter wonderland of fairies and friends. Of course there was Julia smiling at the amount of snow they had on the roof of their car forcing her to have stay at home time for crafty fun.  Sam snapped her snowy pics and even made a snow chook to share with us. Jen snapped her dogs out walking in the snow but I have to say it was the mug full at the top of her page that did it for me.   Helen linked to the fab pic of her snow covered ghosts.

Every one of them made me smile but the one that gave me the biggest smile this week has to be Gilbert the Gnome over at Marmalade Rose.  Fi has embellished this cheeky little character and all I have to say is ...who wouldn't just love him.  :-)  Do pop over and check him out if you haven't already.

My snaps this week are of my family's fun in the snow.....

Phoebe and Lulu standing proudly by the snowman they made themselves....a bigger one was made later by the whole family but this one was made with love by two little sisters and I love it.

Snow angels are best made whilst lying on your back Steve!

This is how you get around when you're 16 month old twins!  They later went sledging with other family members and really loved it.

[not me I hasten to add!]

Here they are plotting to decide who dares throw the snow ball at their mum.  :-)....not sure what was said but Lexi walked away giggling.

I really hope you've enjoyed my happy pics today and choose to share some of yours this week.  Feel free to link any time during the week and I will do my best to feature the pics that makes me smile the most next Friday.
[I don't promise to link to them all like I have this week but it was my way of thanking all who jumped to join in for the very first week  :-) ]

The world is a nicer place to live when it's full of smiles.
