For those of you who didn’t read this morning’s Forces of Nurture column, go here.

Those of you who came here via the column, I now present a few pictures taken during the Christmas of Calamities. (Note: Tootie’s very short hair was the result of her experimentation with scissors. It took a year to grow back out. Go here for a glimpse of what she managed to do to herself.)

And now, photos:

Trimming the tree

Arranging the Nativity Scene

Waiting for their turn with Santa.

Tootie shows Santa a drawing she did just for him.

The E-man suddenly remembers his aversion to Santa.

Away in a Manger

We're supposed to sing? In front of all these people?
