Would You Like To Join Me For Some Afternoon Tea?

So my mom sent me an outfit for Audrey to wear for Christmas. But since Audrey has all of ten strands of hair, the hat just looks like a fancy shower cap:

Not only that, but my mom forgot that I am not the typical mother who dresses her kids in nice clothes for a holiday pic. I was hoping to put Audrey in this:

I decided to compromise:

255-mod

These days Jude has been rather loquacious during his mealtime prayers. Tonight among other things, I heard him passionate pray, "God, please let us not do sin stuff."

Eli: "Mommy, can I have some M. O. M.s? (This is what he calls M&Ms and I choose not to correct him)
I give him one M&M.
Eli: (disappointed) "No, Mommy. I want five..."
I tickle him to show him I'm joking.
Eli: "You're silly dude, Mommy."
I give him five more.
Eli: (Looking at his five M&Ms) "Actually, I want twenty hundred thirty."

I hear you about the fancy shower cap issue...we have this fancy hat with a wide brim for Charley to wear for Christmas and I'm thinking it will look totally ridiculous on my baldy...oh well. Cute Christmas card though, I like Audrey's sort of "yea, I'm the cutest" expression :o)
