Well, we went to my brother's over the weekend so that he could take the kids' pictures. I was wanting him to take a couple of pictures that we could have of the kids and one of us all for our Christmas pictures. Well, as you can tell Josie was a little ham to begin with, but that did change as we went on. By the time that we were ready to take the picture of all of us and the ones with the three of them, she was done and would have no part of it. It did become stressful as I wanted a picture of the 5 of us not the 4 of us. Eventually, she did come around a little and we did get a few of the 5 of us and a couple of me and Josie (I got some of me and the boys and Mike and the boys). As you can see, Thomas had no problems getting his picture taken, he is our little model. Steven just loved being silly in front of the camera, but that is just Steven. I am posting the ones that my brother sent me tonight, it isn't all of them, but it is a few. I will post the one of all of us when I get it. The one of them in the blue outfits are their Liberian outfits, I thought they looked so good in them. Well, the pictures did turn out good, even though Josie was finished before we were done. I guess I am just relearning what it is like to have a 4 year old again:) (LOL). It has been 5 years and you do have to relearn some things:). But, Christmas is going to be so magical to see all of it through the eyes of a 4 year old and an 8 and 9 year old. I know Thomas told me last year that for Christmas when he was at the orphanage in Liberia, he got a candy cane for Christmas. Last year was so magical for him, so I know this year it will be for Josie, because I know she doesn't understand everything, she just loves to look at the "Christma Trees" as she calls them:) (It's a Liberian thing:))
Well, hope that you enjoy the pictures! I want to thank my brother for taking them. He was very patient with the kids and took his time to take them (and he did it for free so that was even better, he said that we were helping him learn how to take better pictures so he says that we were helping him). I think that they are the most beautiful kids there are, but I am a little bias:)!

Beautiful!!!! :)
Ann and Mike,Man the boys are really growing fast. the kids looked like they enjoyed being in their Liberian outfits.They all look so happy.I'm sure you two were beaming.We all think it is great Josie is such a ham(just like her mom).We tell the boys how Ann would just magically appear just before a picture was snapped.We would laugh later when we looked at the pictures and there would be Ann somewhere in the picture.Yes,the kids do look beautiful and we are looking forward to seeing more pictures.Love you all,Pam
