Let's see if this works....

This should be a Picasa album slideshow with 11 photos from December.

1. Annie looking pitiful in front of the Christmas tree.
2. Okay...so she finally gave us a smile
3. Elizabeth and Katherine "help" Annie open her birthday gift. Annie did NOT appreciate the help - trust me.
   
4. The things we'll do for our children. Mom got the snowglobe for Elizabeth's 4th birthday - got a killer after-Christmas deal on it. Brad kept putting off setting it up, until finally he relented on December 22. We wish we'd put it up earlier. It was cute (and with the lights on the roof was the only decoration outside our house) and the girls LOVED it. Brad actually said it was pretty cute, too.
   
5. The girls in their Christmas dresses before church on 12/23
6. Another sweet photo of Annie in front of the tree.
   
7. What our "yard art"/snowglobe will NEVER morph into - this is the RIGHT side of my mom's next-door neighbor's yard
8. And this is the LEFT side of the yard. Getting it all in one photo didn't do justice to just how bad it really looks. I mean, this stuff can be fun, but reign it in, people!!!
9. Meet Sophie. She's Mom and Dad's new puppy and she is such a cutie!
10. Annie, singing in her sister's High School Musical microphone. Loudly. Also, please notice the marker all over her fingers! What you can't see is the black marker all over her TEETH and mouth. (I give up with this child eating markers!!!)
11. Elizabeth and Katherine in a loving moment. Literally seconds later, they were rolling around on the floor screaming and fighting. Lovely.
