1f) Holiday Roundup

This photo was April's Christmas gift to me, mounted on tile with a little hook for wall hanging. She said the pregnant find themselves with lots of excess time for crazy projects (you should see her popsicle stick submarine!) Strangely enough, she seems to have no time at all now that the baby was born. I'll never understand women.

Oops, my face broke. I thought I'd look like one of The Musketeers but instead I became a guy in the parking lot of a Monster Magnet concert. Please scroll down now.

Despite appearances, Cedric the French likes his girlfriend Joanna quite a bit. I think he's just reeling from my Christmas gift- a puppet made of Tabasco sauce and a Fisher Price crossing guard.

Ernie and April got the amazing little gift I brought them from Toronto- a crab that rolls around and bugs his eyes out while singing a Chinese pop song. Look at their enthusiasm! I'm sure Mr. Crabbles isn't in their trash!

What if Desiree was my evil twin sister? I'm just saying.

Desi drinks nectar like a hummingbird. She also floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.

I'm sorry, you guys look great, but Ron and Sharon are really the beautiful people. Sometimes scary.

Sissy is so proud, she got to be the queen of Christmas.

My mom is mean, she waggles her ears at holiday royalty.

I love her anyway.

"Look, it's fokasha!" Thanks Beth, we almost looked at Rhyland for a second.

My sister gives a little pomp and circumstance to Jon swilling a goblet of Robitussin. The outtakes from this photo shoot were taken in the bathroom.

Beth and Joanna can't resist picking little mites off Grayskull and each other.

My dad sent me this postcard for Christmas, it speaks for itself. However, I would like to mention that my dad plans to start smoking and drinking heavily when he turns 70. He likes to say, "What's it gonna do, kill me?"

Rebecca holidayed in Sydney this year. Her mom is Australian and her dad is the Canadian ambassador (consul) to Australia. Oh-ahsome.
