What a day

A candid shot of Allie after church today.

West Family Photo - Christmas 2009

I think this photo captures each of our personalities...OK, maybe just Allie's.

Sitting with Santa Clause

Opening Christmas presents

Allie, Jack, and Lincoln opened their presents together on Christmas morning. Jack, as he has done in the past, opened a couple of presents and wanted to play rather than finish opening the rest of his presents. Lincoln didn't need much help with his first try at unwrapping presents. He was pretty good at it. Allie had an all-around good time opening presents, playing a little, and opening more presents.

Sibling cuddles

Allie and Jack cuddled for a few moments on the couch today. As most of you know, they rarely sit still long enough by themselves, much less together, to have time to take a picture like this. As you can guess, they were staring at something on the TV.

Christmas jammies

The kids opened one present each on Christmas Eve. All three received the same gift, new jammies. They had already worn their new pajamas one month earlier for Thanksgiving, but had to put them away until Christmas.



And some pictures from Thanksgiving night:

Crawling update

Just wanted to give a video update of Lincoln crawling. You may want to check the original crawling post to see the progress he's made. Now that I think about it however, the video here was actually shot at the beginning of Nov 09. So, this isn't the most up-to-date crawling update possible.
