December 1999. This is the first year of a newly created Christmas tradition. That year there were only 4 grand kids available...a Mary, a Joseph, an angel and a shepherd. Julianne wasn't even quite 2 years old yet when she played the part of the shepherd. Rebekah, as the oldest granddaughter at age 3, played the part of Mary. Now there are 17 grand kids to dress up each year. Wisemen have been added. There is quite a large group of shepherds. There's even a narrator and an angel choir. It's great fun each year...something the kids look forward to. But as wonderful as it all is, I still think my favorite was that very first year.

That was the first year I was in the family. I think that there has been no cuter shepard than when Julianne was it
Wow Lillian looks exactly like Julianne, I thought it was her at first.
Your girls were absolutely darling--still are, of course!
