Merry Christmas!

Here's some of pictures from our Christmas festivities this year. We had three action-packed days of celebrating with most of our family and extended family.

Daddy's Toes

Anna not only looks the most like Mike, she shares his toes! Mike has "webbed" toes between his 2nd and 3rd toe. Here is Anna's left foot - notice how her toes are webbed. She doesn't have it on her right foot, but I think it's so sweet that she has toes just like her daddy!

Anna's big debut

Our sweet, angelic Anna did an excellent job at tonight's Christmas Eve service. Pastor Dan carried her out on stage and talked about her representation as baby Jesus. She slept through the entire thing! Here's a glimpse at her big moment on stage:

The service was incredible and I highly encourage you to go sometime tomorrow if you're available. There are four services on December 24: 1, 3, 5, and 7pm. For more information check out www.goldcreek.org.

Baby picture comparison

I've had a lot of fun comparing the kids' baby pictures in the past couple of weeks. Anna looks a lot like Ryan -- not so much like Caitlin -- and I'm still shocked by the amount of hair she has on her head. Here's a comparison of the kids:

Anna

Hiccups

Christmas Program

The kids had their school Christmas concert this afternoon. Their individual classes each sang a song and said their name and, "Merry Christmas!" Here's video of each of the kids -- Caitlin was extremely shy and never got her name out. Anna slept through the whole thing -- thank goodness!

Professional pictures

On Sunday morning, I had a photographer come to the house to capture some images of the kids. We had a great time -- and I HIGHLY recommend Erin Coffey. She was wonderful with the kids - even though all three of them were uncooperative. Here's a few shots - I'll post more later.

For Mike

Here's some video of your baby girl!
