A few Christmas Pics

Well, we enjoyed a wonderful Christmas -- island style. We slept until about 8:00 a.m., and we prepared for Olivia to wake up. While waiting, we decided to go ahead and open some of our gifts. Courtney opened her new camera, and the shots below are courtesy of that new toy. It is small enough for Courtney to enjoy and powerful enough for Mark to steal and dive with it! And then we waited some more. Finally, we headed into Olivia's room about 9:30 to wake her up (since Courtney couldn't wait any longer). On Christmas Eve, Olivia said she did not want Santa to come because he is scary. However, she didn't mind the next day when he brought her a shopping basket full of food. We were able to set up the webcam, and family watched us open gifts. Needless to say, it was fun. We have a few shots to share here, and I'll post the rest on the Yahoo site. Enjoy!

I want to be a Rock Star!

Mark's art collection -- Medvedev.

Cheesy smile!
(Note the scuff under her nose from the face-plant she did into a skateboard)

Courtney's new earrings -- girls love sparklies!
