Christmas Day

My sister Karen, my niece Amelia, and their friend Stacie were in Maine for Christmas at my Mom and Julian's house. We all had a wonderful time, if you exclude the part where everyone rotated being sick.

Here are just a few pictures, I am much too cobwebby in the head to run much of a commentary.

I do have to ask, though - whose kids are these and how did they learn to act like this? This is just about the only picture I have of Christmas morning at our house. Santa brought The Littlest Pet Shop, just as he was instructed. Thank you, Santa.

Karen and Mia

Grandy and Bubby. Incidentally, Grandy is 62 years old and Violet is 62 months old. Guess who thought of that one?

A rare sweet picture of the Mama with a sleeping babe.


Cousins being sweet.

Cousins being sassy.


And I don't quite know what this thing is, but the kids love them. Stella and Violet each got one.


Stella got several different types of glorious crayons which thrilled her.


And someday I may get a chance to wear my nice orange vest. Once the kids take it off, that is.
