The best part of being the only girl in the family; I finally get to be Mary when we act out the first Christmas! I've always had to be the angel because apparently little sisters make better Marys.

We sort of neglected to take photos on Christmas this year. These are some of the only shots we took. Oops. We did have a lovely day though, even if we don't have much proof.

And all evidence of Christmasness was put in boxes by 8 am on the 26th. Bring on the new year.

You make a beautiful Mary, and besides should be Mary anyway since you're going to have a baby boy soon!

Fast Christmas clean up - wow! Ours will be up for a few more days. I'm excited for 2010 though too!!

Your boys are darling as always!
