Various Christmas Stuff

Josh and the girls put together a gingerbread house while Mom Christmas shopped.

Here's another shot with Lydia hamming it up some more.

Here are some pictures of the "Cursed Christmas Program". The person running it quit after the first rehearsal because of knee surgery, parts were cut and new people brought in. Then the day of the program there was a blizzard and it was canceled. We rescheduled it for the next week. Again another snow storm. It wasn't canceled, but the girls and I couldn't drive in because of the snow and Lydia didn't get to be in it after all. The following pictures are from a partial-dress rehearsal.

Here's Lydia the sheep with other sheep, shepherds and angels. She's in the center wearing pink.

More of the group. The girl who babysits Lydia is standing just behind and above her.

Here's more people in the play. You can see Josh between a lady in pink and a guy in red. (2nd person from the left) He was a shepherd who had a speaking part.

Josh and Lydia together. So sweet!

And now Present Opening Fun.

Here are the girls tearing in.

The following three pictures are of the baby dolls that a family friend gave us and the strollers that Josh and I gave them.

Christmas Picture Rejects

As many people do, we took a family picture for our annual Christmas card. Here's the one that got sent around the world to friends and family.

But really what fun is that kind of picture? Now check out the ones that didn't make the cut:

I think no one looks good in this picture except Lydia. Josh is too far back, I put my head up too far and Sophia looks drugged.

The kids have the funny looks in this one.

Lydia stole the show here.

Can we say cheeseball smiles?
