obligatory Christmas post

one of the advantages of having Christmas a few days earlier, is that you have the opportunity to get your photos out before anyone else has even taken any. so here's the big, tongue-wagging photo-post:

josh's scarf, made by auntie fro. complete with bunny-ears by scoupe.

abbey's very fluffy scarf, also a frogurl original.

mary got a hat. a hat every bit as cute as necessary, for such an adorable little girl. the sunglasses complete the ensemble, also from fro.
a timely gift from a thoughtful uncle scoupe.
are these guys cool, or what? Josh is a master of photojournalism at age 7. can't wait til he has his own camera (tomorrow).

a special thanks to scoupe, fro & DEG, for covering every single thing on my wish-list for the kids. you guys saved Christmas. also to darren's anonymous mom, for helping with the bikes. they LOVED them! hard times show you how good your good friends are, & i'm glad to know every one of y'all. you've been a blessing in other ways than material, & i Love you all for it.

merry Christmas!!!
