5th warmest christmas on record!

pretty boy

what a chef!

 

i tried. i had this orange-french-toast recipe picked out...

 but then charlie informed me that he doesn't like food with oranges in it. besides oranges and ducks.  change of plans. but it was good! i took the brown sugar and pecans from the recipe i had picked and updated our french toast! it was good.

we ate all of it. rufus got none.

the anticipation of charlie's gift from his parents... i warned him that he would LOVE it! he did!

risa thought of us, too! thanks ris!

we took a family outing to the park to take christmas pics. pernkie was LESS than thrilled.

we're a como-park-lovin' family!

for self-timer pics they turned out really well!

love my little family!
