Merry Christmas!

These first pictures were taken after a local Catholic Church put on a kid's play about the birth of Jesus on Christmas Eve around 5pm. We poorly translated the information, obviously because we were very disappointed to find out a Mass was not to follow the service until 10:00pm that night. So, the grandparents stayed with the sleeping children while Brian and I returned for Mass that night.

Genna is hard to keep still for a picture these days, as you can tell from this next picture! (She's pretending to go to sleep. Don't worry, I didn't let her fall again! I've got to keep one arm good on her, right? In fact, that is my new policy...one arm must be usable at all times by all children in the Smith family.)

Then these next pictures were taken Christmas morning as the girls reenacted the nativity as they placed Jesus in his bed that they had been working so hard to make soft for him this Advent season. Genna was Joseph, but she wouldn't keep the blanket on her head for the picture. She's been a mover and a shaker lately. Hannah may be rubbing off on her.

How sweet! Happy birthday to you, Jesus!
