Educating the new grandson on the Christmas songs

Making sushi for the first time

A total hipster moment - homemade sushi on a cutting board, eaten while wearing pre-pregnancy skinny jeans and holding the baby in the Ergo  (hehehe)



My parents have a load of cats in their art studio - including a litter of six adorable kittens...








Swinging!


Christmas Eve!

Anne dressed as one of the many Marys for the pageant, holding a candle to see the words for the  closing hymn

Anne got to try out the organ.  She filled the church at high volume with Hot Cross Buns.

My mom found a little thing in the newspaper about wrapping with newsprint, so she saved it for me.  I took it as inspiration for my wrapping.

Aunt Emily wears Lazarus for a nap while we work on the crossword.
