Don't worry, better pictures are on the way. And no we did not actually wake our child up; we simply sang carols outside his bedroom door until he awoke.

Shannon and I were cracking up at this picture because it looks like Henry and Libby are themselves the parents of two kids, and they were just trying to get a good family shot for Christmas:

This picture was taken right before Libby's (and Henry's) big school holiday performance.

Libby giggled when the reindeer's soft, warm mouth nuzzled against her fingers as she fed it a slice of apple.

All of the animals, wise men, shepherds, sheep, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus were given rubber band necklaces:

Needless to say she has been fascinated with it ever since. Here is a video of her early interactions with the very talkative toy:

Just look at how focused she is on Elmo - nothing else in the room seems to exist. :)
