Merry Christmas!

In front of our house (by the way, a huge

benefit of living in church housing is that

they do all the outside Christmas decorating!)

President and Sister Ludwig passing by our

house on their Christmas Eve carriage ride.

Christmas Eve! Everybody in their new PJ's

leaving out cookies for Santa and an apple for

the reindeer.

A classic Abbie sleeping position. Her hands

are actually up in the air. She always sleeps

with her arms spread out or above her head.

Abbie in her Christmas dress. 2 months old.

Our family at the ward Christmas pageant. Angie

was an angel, Casey and Barb played Mary and

Joseph and Abbie was baby Jesus (but not a very

good one - she screamed at the top of her lungs

and flailed around for a solid 20 minutes under

the spotlights while the narration and singing

was going on! Guess she didn't want to play a

boy role...)

Abbie Mae 2 months old.
