Oliphant Family Christmas Party

Marc's entire family was here for Christmas this year. His parents hosted an Oliphant Family Christmas Party--complete with a delicious dinner, acting out the nativity, singing carols, and opening presents-- which kicked off our Christmas weekend.  Gwen already blogged about the party, and since her pictures are far superior to mine,  I intended to send you to her blog until I realized it is a private blog. So instead, I'll "borrow" her pictures.
About an hour before the party started, Abigail took her first big tumble and got an ugly goose egg on her head.  Everyone was very sad about it (I had both Joseph and Abigail crying in my arms), but our little girl is tougher than she looks.  She cheered up and had a wonderful time at the party (she begins kicking her legs in excitement the minute she sees Grandma Donna and Grandpa Lincoln's house), even if we ended up being a little later than we expected.

And Missy and even more dramatic star.
