Annual Christmas photo

We dodged a bullet this Christmas.  This picture was taken just before church on 12/15.  Thank goodness for digital photography.  I didn't have to take 25 pictures and hope, after processing, that one came out.  I knew as soon as I took this one that it was a keeper.  
After we got to church that morning Quinlan started complaining about her face and neck being itchy and hot.  Sure enough she had a poison ivy outbreak....... in December....... just before Christmas.  By the time it stopped oozing it looked very painful but she was a real trooper and we got through it.  I got asked a million times if I had taken her to the doctor, but I've been there before for the same thing and I knew what they were going to tell me.  The calamine and benadryl works.  Now she says she knows what it looks like (not sure I believe her) and she vows to stay away from it.  I hope so.
