When Emily's in a good mood, she's one of the cutest kids ever... even on the changing table.
 
     
All three kids in the bath at once...  a challenging project.
            
On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we took a trip to Medieval Times since they had a discounted show.  We brought Heidi along since she was home from college for the weekend.   The kids totally got into the show, cheering for our knight (Black and White) and booing everyone else.  Melissa was very cute - she was all worried for our knight when he was fighting.  Even Emily didn't seem to mind and wound up sleeping through most of it.
 
     
Some pictures of the spectacle Medieval Times can be...  the first three are near the beginning - the last is the only decent shot I got of the Joust they do near the end of the show.

The rest of this page includes the only pictures of Christmas 2006 we took on our digital camera.  I think we focused on video this year... but anyway, here's pics of Jacob helping decorate Grandpa and Kay Silva's Christmas Tree.

If you got a Christmas card from us in 2006, the middle picture will look familar...   here's the three kids together at our house posing for the Christmas Card picture.

Melissa holding one of her Christmas presents from Daddy - a Flamingo snow globe from the Flamingo in Las Vegas.  Daddy's a dork... I know.  She liked it anyway.  8^P
