AK and her loot

I'm sure everyone who follows the blog is anxious to see our Christmas pictures...Well, I took over 100 so it will take me a few days to sort out the best ones. So, below you'll find a little teaser. Shirt says: All Mommy wants for Christmas is a Silent Night. (Thanks RF and family)

Ironically, we were granted one. Yes, one of very few indeed.

Music while in the womb...Hmmn....You'd think I ought to be ALL about that, right? Well, while I didn't play too many CDs for her in utero, I did sing a whole host of nursery tunes, hymns, German folk songs, lullabies....The one I never sang was Silent Night...and guess what? Yep. That is her favorite one (sung in German first, then in English)--promotes instant calm (almost) every time! Her second favorite is "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." (OK...I did sing that one to her in utero)
