Better Late Than Never

I had really get better about this whole blogging thing. I seem to be consistently behind in posting pictures. Perhaps it has something to do with chasing two little ones and working full time... Hmmm. That could be it.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our family Christmas. We had a great one this year, with Isaiah singing lots of the Happy Birthday song to Jesus. Mallory starting walking (more than just one step) on Christmas Day. I consider that a great Christmas present. I just love that I was not at work when she started cruising around all by herself. She's getting to be such a big girl!

The kids and I attended the 3 o'clock service at church on Christmas Eve. A pretty big storm with some yucky sleet/ice/snow was coming through, so we decided to go to that service, even though I knew it would cause problems with naps. Better to be safe than happy, I guess. We sat with the Koellers (who are a great help to me in church, by the way!), and Mallory took a nice little nap while Debbie held her. :)

Mallory's Christmas dress is so adorable. My mom made it for her! (Okay, Feranec family - "She MADE it!")

This the best we could get out of her. She kept trying to escape.

Isaiah is looking so grown up!
If only he would behave a little better in church...

Tim was working for 3, 5, 7, and 11 o'clock services on Christmas Eve, so he did not have to go in for Christmas morning. It was a good opportunity to sleep late, open presents, and stay in our jammies all day! Well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad, I suppose. Guess which one of those we didn't get to do?

Hilarious! Isaiah had better look out. Mallory constantly has her eye on his toys.

See? She won't even look away for a picture. By the way, the toy is a little snow plow. Every Wisconsin boy must have one of those.

Formula or egg nog...? Looks like she's telling a very involved story, doesn't it?

Merry Christmas!
