After Kristen started school, Christmas photos were no problem. We would just tuck a school photo into our Christmas cards. But before that, sometimes we went to Sears or JC Penney for her holiday photo, and sometimes I took the photos. I think Kristen was around four, maybe five, when these photos were taken. I seldom curled her waist-length hair, but this was for a special occasion.

Hmm, there are a lot of outtakes here. A little bit of talking back, some grimness (will this ever be over?), face needs scratching, oops, the flash was too bright, a real pout (it's NEVER going to end), resignation.
Which one do you think I chose?
"Love, Dan, Julie & our own living doll, Kristen."
What a doll! Did you choose the one on top middle right? They are all darling!!! Love the Christmas card too. Precious.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get a chance to coment on your last post but want to say I definately believe in the power and miracles of prayer.
What a cutie she is! Wonderful photos....even the ones where she isn't so happy!
ReplyDeleteA girl can never have too many dolls *!*
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet she was - and I'm sure still is! Glad she will be home soon - have a wonderful Christmas together Julie.
ReplyDeleteAs for your previous post, how lucky we are to have found each other, and all the other friends we've made via our blogs. I enjoy reading every word you write, whether in your post or in the kind comments you leave for me. Sometimes, like right now, I'm finding it hard to be as responsive as I'd like - so many people comment and there are even more blogs I love to visit and want to comment on - but just never enough time!
Julie, my wish for you is a blessed Christmas filled with love and laughter, surrounded by your family and friends.......many new and wonderful books, and that your hands will be pain free. I have picked several books for my list and hope Santa will have room in his sack for them. There's really nothing else I need so books will be welcome....plus more time to read them!
Love and hugs, your friend Mary.
Actually Gemma, it's the second from the left!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Don't we cherish our memories?!!

oh Julie, she is so much like you! I could see the resemblance immediately!
