Pictures!

Katie in the cone.  The cone is gone now, as are the buttons, but I never did post the picture here.  Her eye has actually looked pretty bad since yesterday, so I'm running her by the vet this morning just to be sure everything is ok.  Or at least, I'm hoping it's ok.

Malachi and Santa at school 
Lydia was too scared to sit on Santa's lap, or to even talk to him.

Lydia at the church Christmas program.  She sang 3 songs with the other preschoolers and kindergarteners.  It was cute.

 This is the boys' play.  I didn't get good photos, really, but Nathaniel took some, too, so maybe his are better.  The kids did a really good job.  Both Elijah and Malachi remembered their lines, so that was a relief!

Elijah is a camel salesman.  Malachi is the camel lot owner's son, and he was thrilled to hear people laugh at his part.  He told me he was glad he had the funny part.  Elijah also had a big paragraph at the end, and he got it all!
