What a year it was! Jason, thanks for sharing this with us! I can feel and see your pride in your family.

You made sausage? And when I say you, I mean your MIL. Why wasn't I invited over to help out? And by help out, I mean eat some!

I'm glad to have been your friend for another year.

I especially love the colours in the one with Diego and all those beautiful pumpkins!

And a great one of Claire and her pumpkins!

Loved the photos...makes me want to do one...of course after I make our Xmas card and do all the holiday stuff that's piling up here and at work.

Especially enjoyed the pics of the little kids...and the goggle testing :)

Beautiful. What a year!

But, do me a favor, will ya? Stop lying to us. "Jason enjoying a football game." As if!

I nearly pissed myself laughing at Diego trying out his new swim goggles in a pasta pot. That's a Classic.

I want one of those froggie hats!

Great update, Jason.

Mark said...

Don't tell on me. I made a promise to myself not to read any blogs over the weekend. So I'm halfway cheating reading yours that was from yesterday. Our secret, right?
Love these photos. My favorite one is of Claire. The Ex, right? I would have stayed with her just for her fashion sense. She's gorgeous!

I LOVE photos, what a great display. That poor Thanksgiving Turkey! Wahhhhhh indeed.

smalltownme said...

Great pictures -- thank you for sharing. But there has to be a story behind that poor turkey.

Is that happiness to see you?

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

It was going so well until the sausage!

It looks like it was a great year. And, yes, Claire does look fabulous!

Lacking Productivity said...

This is one of my favorite posts you have done in a long time. It is so nice to see what you all are up to. And it makes me miss you so much.

sybil law said...

Love the photos!
You have so much to be grateful for - and I know you know that, already. :)

jlo said...

Jealous of you and Kira. Glad I kinda made it in the list...well, kinda made it in the list.

Aunt Snow said...

Wonderful. EVeryone looks so happy! You have surrounded yourself with love!

And sausage too!

Busy Bee Suz said...

These are all great...but I think my fave is Diego goggling in the pasta pot...or maybe the constipation photo!!!
Claire is gorgeous.
Please don't ever put sausage photos on here again!

janjanmom said...

Know what goes good with sausage? Tub o carrots. heehee.

Maria said...

That last one is a perfect Christmas card. This is the first year that I refused to send out the obligatory holiday bragging letter. Instead, I printed out a beautiful quote by Barbara Kingsolver and let her say it far better than I ever could.

Who is the woman in the first photo a the funeral? She is drop dead gorgeous.

Claire said...

You are all very kind. We have had a good year as a family. One of our best.

Rebekah said...

Gorgeous! And happy Turkey-versary!!

The Empress said...

When you put it all together like that, I can see how it is you that made your year so beautiful.

You are a very special person, aren't you?

Happy New Year, thank you for your inspirational words. I still remember the first time I found your blog, and how I stayed up until 3 a.m. reading your entire story..so moved to the point of tears.

So much emotional pain, and yet, you are always with that smile.
