We tried a couple of different photos for a Christmas card that never happened.
Although we did have a couple of good photos in the end we decided to do Chinese New Year cards.
As always we went town to New York for Christmas. This is at the Christmas Eve party. The kids were very happy to get their Aunt Nancy to read to them. Julia was very good natured about getting squeezed out.

Cassie and Takumi are trying to teach their cousins the "Grandma pose" that they learned from Sarah & Christopher.
Takumi was very happy to get a Red Sox Daisuke Uno game.
Cassie found time for snuggling.
Cassie and Takumi proudly read the book that they wrote and illustrated about the Farm.
Takumi discovered that it's good to be the king when he got a second Lego set!
Cassie modeling not only her Princess dress from Bill and Tina but also her Pretty Pretty Princess Game accessories from the DE Tsavalases.
Cassie and Takumi have found yet another group of people willing to carry them around on their shoulders! This was at the Christmas night party.
Once again Lois has come up with a winning present at the vintage clothing store where she works.
I was not home so I'm not sure quite what forms or bribery were used to Takumi to try on his suit and tuxedo shirt.
Unfortunately I have never been able to convince him to wear this out of the house.
Cassie on the other had would happily go grocery shopping in lace.
As I said above, we decided to take photos for a Year of the Rat card instead of Christmas ones.
We even went into the Middlebury Co-op where Marin worked to take some photos in front of the Cheese counter.
