Tween trying to look cool but actually looking less than impressed with his new phone!



Our wonderful Christmas dinner!!! Thanks to Tizzy for her culinary excellence, including, 9 different vegetables!! (Even if we did forget the sprouts and leave them in the microwave!!)

Chefs expression showing how he feels about a Christmas dinner he didn't have to cook! I'm impressed we got 7 around the table!
