I was under orders from Ginger to take a picture of Lanie in her Christmas finery,

I also had a request from the Altar Guild to make sure I got a picture of the altar with all the poinsettias. Mark was too quick putting out the candles so I had to get him to re-light most of them…oops!

The pictures of Lanie were almost a disaster, as I was assisted (hindered) by a certain Mr. Bare attempting to photobomb and generally disrupt things!

Despite how horrendously dark it is in the church I was quite pleased with how the pictures taken before and during the service came out.
