Pictures to highlight the last few weeks

Twas the night before Christmas and all I really was trying to do was tell a bed time story so Santa could come. "But No" was the response from the kids we have to lay down like we are in bed.

The Christmas Program was a big success for all the children. We have a Shepard(Jackson) a Joseph(Josh) and one of the Kings bearing gifts (Lexi).

Lexi was given a princess dress up as a gift and loved it all Christmas Day long, and the next day and the next, ect....

Everyone loves to take this time of year to send the best family picture that they can take or have taken. We have felt in years past that we did not need to participate with this tradition but this year we were compelled to try. We took 146 pictures and most if not all ended up like the ones below. Maybe our family will never be able to make it to the ranks of the photofamous. We will carry this burden as best as we can, but for now take a look at the "not so hot shots"

LOOK UP LEXI "PLEASE"

EVERYONE LOOK AT MOM

LETS PLAY "PEEK-A-BOO" LATER LEXI, JUST SMILE PLEASE!!!!!

LEXI STOP PINCHING THE BOYS AND SMILE AND LOOK OVER HERE, I MEAN IT!!!

THE KIDS DON'T LOOK TO BAD BEHIND BARS. MAYBE THIS WILL BE IN THEIR FUTURE, WHO KNOW WITH PARENTS LIKE ANNE AND ME.

JOSH TAKE YOUR HANDS OUT OF YOUR POCKETS, LEXI PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN, JACKSON PLEASE ACT LIKE YOUR HAVING FUN AND SMILE :)

WE ARE NOT DONE YET, WE HAVE ONLY TAKEN 140 PICTURES. LEAVE THE DUCKS ALONE PLEASE!!!!!
