Christmas prettiness and silliness

Last night after church I decided to attempt the picture for our Christmas card. It was actually rather painless (the easiest one we've ever endured, I think) and one turned out decently enough to use. Below are a few extras...

Last night was our church's Christmas cantata, so the kids dressed in their finest and we "fancied up" Abigail's hair, too. Isn't it lovely?!

Then Abigail and I got silly while we waited for the guys to be ready. I thought I should include the one of me being a dork for those of you who don't know me personally. Those of you who do know me also know that this is much more typical of me than the sitting-demurely photos are. :)

Molly didn't appreciate being grabbed for a picture (see her "owl ears"?). Sorry it's blurry, but Abigail was laughing so hard at Molly's attitude that she couldn't hold the camera still!

Here's a nice one of me and Abigail. No, I'm not posting the family one yet...it's going on our Christmas cards!
