We had Christmas and all I took was this photo

In typical B Family fashion, we had a wonderful Christm.as hol.iday with friends and family and we took minimal pictures to show for it. Irony? Mr. B got a video camera that you can pull still shots from and it's still in the box. We B's are nothing if not good photo-intentioned.

It was the year of Poll.y Pocket.s and dollhou.se. The favorite gift from S.anta? A game where you hide a sock mon.key and find it by answering questions. It was given to both girls. Has been used daily, if not double daily, for loads of family fun.

Here are the girls on Chri.stmas Eve in their best dresses ready to go to church for a candle.light service. Their bellies are full of Fl.inn Soup and shrimp, our traditional meal, and they're looking forward to opening the one present on Christ.mas Eve after the service (which actually ends up being PJs and usually a trinket/toy). And old She.ba is getting her gift, too, as both girls are petting her...not poking her, riding her, lying on her or dangling food mere inches from her face.
