Holiday Picture Parade!

We just got Alivia's holiday photos done and I really like they way they turned out this year! She's such a little imp! Believe it or not, although she nearly 3 and 1/2 and looks like quite the young lady here, she's still very tiny and only wears 18 month sizes. Smart as a whip, though! And she has a boyfriend at school... Boy, am I going to have trouble when she hits her teens...

Anyone else have new photos to share?

Jeana~
Those are all great shots...she is adorable!

We decided on comfy and casual PJ pictures this year...the first two and last one are on the Christmas cards...and the cards background matches their PJ's perfectly (dumb luck on my part.) The others were contenders.

Here's a couple more of DD...she is in the church choir and performed this morning (red dress) and is also in the church's Christmas musical (one of the lead roles...I'm so proud.) She is supposed to be in a 'bright, cute, and girly' outfit...so the blue outfit was what she was going to wear...until...she decided the tights were too itchy. Today I am replacing the tights with bright striped tights (less itchy seams) and a bright pink top (and pink pig tail holders)...along with the same skirt.

All the pictures are adorable. We did a collage this year with about 16 pictures (on the back of my annual letter). Here are a few that made the cut:

I love seeing everyone's pictures! Here is the picture of the kids that we used for our Christmas card, and a picture of all of us Saturday night after decorating the Christmas tree.
