Do you believe?

One of our favorite Christmas traditions (though still a little new in our family) is reading "The Polar Express".  What are some of your favorite things to do with your children at Christmas?

My Little Dancer

My daughter had her dance recital a couple weeks ago, and I just cannot get over how grown up she is becoming.  She sure is one cute little ballerina.  :)

The Drurys :: Orange County Family Photographer

The Drury family asked me to take pictures for their holiday card, and I was happy to do it!  These kids are so cute.  Sad story, though (I'm still a little shaken up about it) -- we had to do a re-shoot with the kids, and about 20 minutes into our second session, the littlest Drury took a bad fall on some stone steps.  She's ok, but she had quite a good bump on her head.  (Needless to say, we called it a day at that point.)  I got an update from her mom that evening, and there are no broken bones and no concussion.  I was so relieved to hear that, but I still feel so sad for the poor baby!  She handled the whole thing like a champ, though.  What a tough cookie!
