Here is an updated family photo. It was freezing out but we had pictures taken anyways, and the guys wouldn't let us pay them. They only took 12 frames, and they are all amazing. More to come on your Christmas cards this year. . . .

JJ & Em, you officially win the prize for always having the best costumes. I laughed out loud to myself for at least 10 minutes. (I wish we had blue emesis basins instead of pink ones.)

Too bad about Salad. He can't have gone too far. After all, he is a turtle.

Only other news I can think of at the moment is that Liam might finally be ready to give up his plug. He told me last night that he "would take it out for a policeman." I wonder what one would do if I stopped him for that.
