You must love the pictures!

We started a new roll of film on Christmas and recently finished it, so some of these pictures will be from 25 December. That's just the way it has to be!

First, the cat. Smokey digs Christmas - lots of stuff to bat around! - but he's always a little freaked out by a lot of people. So he was torn. Here he makes a rare public appearance.
 
 

Here Mia, with help from Daddy, opens her Mozart cube. She digs the Mozart cube - she likes to bop along with it when it plays music.
 
 

Here we are, ready for Christmas dinner. Our kids are not there because they were napping, like my niece and nephew should have been! That's Matthew, my father, Lindsay, Barbra, my mom, and Krys. My brother-in-law was at the other end of the table and couldn't be bothered to get up and move so he'd be in the photo. Those lazy West Virginians!
 
 

Mia is wearing a paper crown in this picture. My mom got those popping things with the goofy little prizes inside, and Mia's held a crown. I just like her expression.
 
 

These next two pictures are Norah in her Exersaucer. She doesn't really like it all that much, but occasionally she'll play in it. It's somewhat surprising - when Mia was her age she dug it. We think it's because Norah isn't hopping when she's in it yet - once she figures out her legs can do that, she'll probably like it more.
 
 
 
 

Norah really likes trying to drink from whatever Mommy or Daddy is drinking from. She's not terribly interested in a sippy cup yet, so that's annoying. Here she is trying to get some water out of Krys's glass. I like the second one, in which she appears to be French-kissing the side of the glass.
 
 
 
 

Here's a shocking picture of Norah! Shocking, of course, because she's smiling.
 
 

Another smiling Norah picture, this from a few days ago. She's sitting with Mommy, so of course she's going to smile! You can't really tell, but Krys pulled her hair up into a "Pebbles" style. I think she looks goofy. But that's just me.
 
 

I got a digital camera for Christmas, so big photo posts may be a thing of the past. I will probably just stick up one every so often, because we don't need to get them developed. That means you have to come here more often, and I have to post more often. It's a win-win situation!
