Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! It's late and so already Christmas Eve here. I suppose many of you noticed that I chose to go the e-card route this year. I hope no one is offended, the truth is that I should've ordered them online like a month ago so they had time to get to me here and then back to all of you. The postal service is very unreliable time-wise. I wasn't thinking about those types of differences that I am still struggling to get used to. So e-cards it is this year. I'll have to handwrite a few letters to a few friends who don't use the internet (crazy right? but they're out there!!) I'm kinda sad about not sending out cards to tell you the truth. It feels like something's missing, but maybe that's just because I'm not in Florida for Christmas this year. :(

Anyway, here are some pics of the kids. That Christmas photo on the card wasn't my favorite....but it was the best choice when presented with the group of photos I was able to get. Aiden was so cranky, Lexie had little patience... (She was just so excited to walk on the wooden floors in her Mary Janes! She kept tapping her foot.) ...and poor Julia was trying so hard to get them to look at the right time. Lexie wouldn't give up the paci, Aiden wouldn't give up the Mee mee. What a disaster, but a funny memory. So I posted a few outtakes too, just for fun. The other pics are of the holiday party that Wally's battalion put on for the kids. It was Dec. 7th. We had a really good time, there were lots of crafts, tricycles for the little kids, and a Christmas movie playing on one whole wall from a projector. It was really cool. Aiden just rode the trikes or watched the movie. He could care less about arts and crafts right now....but he does like to cut with child scissors and he really likes to help me cook. I took a bunch of pics of him on the trike but the lighting wasn't good and our camera was acting all wonky. Wally and I got a new one as an anniversary gift to ourselves. I have NO IDEA how it works yet, but hopefully the pics I'm posting will improve and you will be able to see the difference. I will post about our Christmas in the next day or two....I should get to bed!
