Brooke isn't too cooperative for photos. I don't ever remember either of the other two girls being this bad about standing still for a picture or looking at the camera. Perhaps I took more pictures of them and they were more conditioned...maybe #3 is suffering from photo neglect. This photo was as good as it got, and it required a food bribe.
These two will stand and smile for photos all day.
Brooke did stand still to admire the height of the huge Christmas tree in the center of the church lobby...too bad I couldn't see her face!
Brooke sat in the service for the first fifteen minutes so she could hear the music and watch Baileigh sing. She loves music and it's fun to watch her dance and sing along.
On the way home the girls were having a funny discussion in the car. They were talking about "What God Wants For Christmas" which is an interactive nativity set that has you open 7 small presents. The small boxes contain Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, Wise Man, Angel, Shepard etc...there is a book that you read that coincides with the box you open. The seventh and final box has a small mirror inside...God wants "You" for Christmas
Baileigh remembers doing this last year but agreed to keep the contents of box 7 a surprise. She was hinting to Mckenna what was in box 7. Mckenna offered "I think Jesus wants a DONKEY!" This idea made all of us laugh. Then Baileigh said, "Mckenna, what God wants for Christmas starts with a "Y". I was impressed she was using her new spelling skills to give a clue. Mckenna thought for a minute and then yelled, "God wants WISMEN!"

Your picture is great! Thanks for sharing about the interactive nativity...what a great idea. We will have to do that next year. We have something with straw and then baby Jesus at the end, but I like your idea so much more! Hope you have a wonderful day together! Merry Christmas!
