Happy Holidays from the Crooked House, Dad Version

So I never did get around to making a card or even an e-card out of our family Christmas photos. My last minute plan was to make the e-card on Christmas Eve and send it out on the day but I was felled by a virus on Christmas Eve, which made for a wobbly Christmas Day. There is a lot of work involved in Christmas when you are a mother and things sort of fall apart when you're not on your game. But we muddled through.

Here is Sylvie, getting angry because the yellow ornament sticker will not stick to David if she puts it on upside down, which is, in her opinion, the only option.

Here she decides to give it a try our way.

 

I love the pleased look on Luke's face here and also the fact that I did not try to comb an already grumpy Sylvie's hair. This is what she looks like most days.

These photos are priceless!

David is a silver fox! And Sylvie sounds so much like Lily. For which you have my deepest sympathy. I couldn't love Lily more, but I could really do without the tantrums.

You said it, sister, about the tantrums. Luckily for her, Sylvie is also very cute -- a real ham. But whew, strong-willed. I'm afraid of her adolescence.

And I will have to tell D what you said. He will be flattered.

Thanks Patricia!
