Merry Christmas

This was supposed to be a Christmas edition of Random Tuesday, but I have MAN-COLD and will probably be dead before the big day so I figured I spend one of my last nights flipping channels in a catatonic trance moving only to drink my tea and eat cookies instead.


If you look closely you'll notice Connor appears to be blessing you like an Eastern Orthodox saint or something but he was actually just holding Finn's hand a second before the photo was snapped. Then again, maybe he has plans we don't know about.


Merry Christmas blogosphere.

  2. Connor and Liam both appear to be worried about whether Santa bought their stories. Mickey Finn looks happy, though!

  3. He is trying to subliminally convert us into the Church of the Temperamental Redeemer of Cuteness.

  5. Sorry to hear about the MAN COLD. Yes, I'm pretty sure you will die by the big day. See what kind of sarcasm JR has to put up with?

    The boys are adorable. What do you think Liam was thinking?

  6. Santa's the only one who looks out of place. And how did you get the baby to smile? EVERYONE is supposed to have a screamer the first time with Santa!
    Happy holidays, Cap'n.

  7. Pope Connor has a nice ring to it. "I will absolve the shit out of you!" can be his catch phrase.

  8. I'll take my blessings where I can get them!

    Happy holidays to you and your family!

  9. I am not quite sure how you function every day with that kind of cuteness running around!

    Sorry about your man cold. Those adorable carrier monkeys probably gave it to you.

  13. That's the only baby I've ever seen smile on Santa's lap. He was in the Nog, wasn't he?

    Merry Christmas, and hope the cold doesn't kill you. Maim you, maybe. But not outright kill.

  14. Luckily Liam's lower hand cancels out Connor's upper hand.

  16. You need to add some whiskey to your tea; the alcohol will kill the germs.

    Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

  17. Santa got Lasik!!! Nice!

    Good luck with the man cold!

  18. What a GREAT Christmas picture! Even Santa looks happy. I've heard man colds are rough - hope you can take it easy. I usually just get the Ryan Seacrest version.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family.

  19. The baby is the only one who looks innocent in that picture. And we know better.

  33. As I looked at the photo I immediately slipped into a catatonic trance before spilling my tea and loosing my cookies down the side of the sofa. I blame Conner's wizardry.

  35. When did they get so big? Great photo!

  36. ah the "Man Cold" you all suffer so much more
    than us women. Big Red here has had a man cold
    for weeks. But, since you're my son, I will
    be properly sympathetic. Love the pic of the
    boys.

  37. Merry Christmas right back at you. Wishing the entire family all the joy and goodness there is.

    Watch out for that man cold. My hubs is sure he will die. every. single. time.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I hope you got over your MAN COLD.....

    The picture is fantastic....I will take whatever extra anybody ever wants to give!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ha ha! Awesome pic. Connor's expression is priceless!
    Hope you are feeling better by now. Secret Agent Man has a man cold, too. I have a less manly one.

  40. That is a wonderful "group" portrait; one you'll treasure always.

    A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ah yes. Connor is holding up his hand in a very Christ-like way. Love the photo! Hope your Christmas was terrific and I hope you're feeling better now.

  42. They suck you in with that cuteness, then they attack. I would be a gonner.

  44. That may be the most adorable Santa's lap picture I've ever seen. My kids look like future serial killers in the one we got this year.
