Clare's very first painting. Surprisingly, not as messy as I'd imagined it to be!




I'm still trying to get a decent Christmas card photo. I'm still failing.






Xander was so excited to help decorate for Michael's birthday.

Tada!

Just resting.

Doodlebops; hello Kipper!


Helping Michael blow out the candles.
