winner winner chicken dinner. daddy took some photos while I was at work. we wanted to do a funny Christmas card. next year hopefully we can come up with a full family funny card. my idea this year was to set the boys, all three, on the couch with ipods, phones, whatever. and me on the side with my arms crossed and eyes rolled. and the next sequence photo be them tied up in Christmas lights and me on the side with a smile.

daddy is making great fish and chips with salmon and yam fries! my favorite.
