A very Maijala Christmas

Ah yes.... there are my children, looking all angelic, almost normal (unless you count the way one won't wear clothes, and the other will only wear that dress). Ah yes, the santa hats, the lemon hazlenut pastry cookies with jelly filling in the middle, the sushi diaper cover (ok, not the sushi diaper cover), the subtle glimpse of daddy's Army uniform in the background, as if to hint at some miraculous homecoming just in the nick of time (even though he has a 4-day weekend and hasn't been deployed in years), and even Frank the dog looking on.... So perfect.


Oh hell, who are we fooling?! This was taken like two seconds prior to the other. Orren running screaming through the picture, even more mess visible, and if you look very closely, you can see that there are no ornaments on the lower portion of the tree (and you can fill in the blanks on what little boy that is on account of). Yup, that's us.
