Christmas pictures

We sent out a picture of the kids with our Christmas cards this year. We do things DIY around here, despite the recommendation of one of my friends who wrangles a family of five into a photo with the help of a trusted Superstore photographer every year with good results. It probably took us a little longer (and two sessions, one of which is lost to the vagaries of a borked camera card), but we got one that definitely captures where the kids were at in late November. Here it is:

Here are a couple more cute shots of Vivien from around Christmas:

I have another picture post from a few drawing workshops in the works, but it does take a while to crank them out these days.
