Family sing-along, with lots of pictures!

Each year my family gets together for a Christmas sing-along where we all sing carols, the kids perform, and everybody brings a dessert.  This year was Jane's first time, and she had so much fun even though she was pretty tired.  I still managed to take a bunch of photos, even though I was taking care of Jane a lot.  I didn't get any pictures of the Smith kids performing, I'm sorry!  I'd be holding Jane and as soon as I got her taken care of their songs were over.  Maybe I can train Jane to be the family photographer someday.

The same night my co-workers had a party that we went to, and there are a few photos from that at the bottom.  Videos are also at the bottom.

Cousin Cameron held Jane several times, and Jane loved it!

And I forgot to tell Cameron that her hair rocked!

Matti did some amazing playing and gave Erika a break on the piano.

Merri on violin (beautiful!)

Will on violin (amazing!)

Jack on the piano (when did he learn how to do that?!)

Everyone wanted to help Jane feel better, but sometimes
the sight of Mommy not holding you is pretty upsetting.

But at least she looked cute as a button!

Jane thinks Matti is pretty fun!

Jacque, did I mention that your tree looked beautiful?!

Uncle Adam even made an appearance, and he brought Emily!

The next several photos show Uncle Doug playing with Jane.
He would laugh and she would giggle like crazy!
It was pretty hilarious!

Jane liked bumping heads with Merri.

That girl gets around!

We actually had a second party the same night.  Yes, we are fun gluttons!  My co-workers were having a Christmas party just a few blocks away, so we stopped in for "a few minutes" (which became an hour) to say hi and to chow down on the yummy food!  Jane was the only kid at the party (Grace doesn't count), and she was generally passed around and adored, which is her favorite activity!

Jane is being held by Danette, next to her daughter Grace in the blue shirt.

Kelly is kneeling behind the table in the blue shirt,
and Ann-Marie is next to her in the brown shirt.

This was just after Jane bumped foreheads with Adrienne.
You can see she is eyeing the forehead again thinking,
"Maybe just one more time..."

Butt ruffles!

And what's an incredibly long holiday post without videos?!

This first one is Doug cracking Jane up.  This went on for several minutes and was completely hilarious. I only caught the end of it. =(

The next one is Cameron dancing around with Jane.  Cam really knows her waltz!

The whole night, Jane would bump foreheads with people.  Practically every time I looked at her she was bumping foreheads with somebody.  It's like her way of giving a kiss.  She did it to everybody!  At my co-workers' party she found a cute boy, Todd, and did it like 10 times to him.  What a flirt!

I managed to catch a video of her doing it to Merri.
