Three men, three ties, three smiles, only one picture taken and it worked?...something is off in the universe! Stars aren't quite aligned and/or hell has frozen over. But whatever it is, I'll take it! 
Mes enfants sont mon bijoux. Toujours ma fille sourit avec ses frères. C'est magnifique pour moi.
Ma fille est très belle et très gentile. Je l'adore. Elle a treize ans maintenant. Trois ans avant elle peut conduire. Berk!
Voila! La photo est fini. Les cheveaux de mon fils ne sont pas noir! Merci beaucoup.
Considering the worst possible event Tony could imagine in his life would be posing for a picture (unless he has a shotput, hammer or discus in his hand)...we actually made it through the missionary picture photo session!!! He smiled (thanks to Niki being behind my shoulder and trying to make him laugh with little faces!). What a great mug.
Little Lola learning how to give a kiss. Not so sure about Aunt Ruth's pucker!
Grandpa George and Grandma Chloe came for Christmas. We had a great time together and have been hatching a plan to convince Golden Grams that she should move out here one day (Le Grand Père is already convinced). Chloe looks like she could easily be squished between the two boys, but Grandpa is holding his own!
Pyper finds something very cozy about my French book. When I open it, she comes running and stretches out. She rolls over onto the computer and basks in the fluorescent lights of the Mac!!!! Ah, to be a feline at the Hill house. Not a bad gig.
Mes sœurs sont magnifiqué. Je les aime beaucoup. Nous sommes toujours là l'un pour l'autre. Pour avoir des sœurs est d'avoir l'amour. La artist est Cassandra Barney qui est la fille de James Christensen.
Because every good family picture needs a darling neighbor child and two sons who think it would be funny to pull out all their medallions and state rings right as the picture was being taken! Really, there just are no words...
And this was the best we could do. No one was in a particularly keen picture-taking mood! But hey, it's my family and I love 'em (medals, rings and all!)
Hmmm...there just aren't words for this. Everyone needs to post a hideous picture of themselves. It is good for the soul!
With everything I could say, and all the witty comments I could make (oh, my twisted sistah and I have quite a history filled with laughter and divine blackmail)...all I can say is "pure joy." My heart is happy as I see my evil twin with such a wonderful man. XOX FTC
This is quite a fellowship. Through thick and thin - girls and no girls - sports wins and sports losses - this circle of friends is secure. Now that they are slowly leaving on missions, the fellowship goes international - some friends in the U.S. and some on the other side of the world. But no matter where they are living, the fellowship stands...and that, after all, is the mark of true friendship.
Alex, Eric and Brandon. Roommates, friends, cousins, tennis partners, fellow students, home teaching companions, wing men, hungry men who love a freebie lunch when Lance and Ruth are in town!
Happy Birthday my new little teenager! Kait is officially no longer a "tween." Birthday festivities involved a homemade cake (made by Chefs Kait and Ruth), swimming with Niki, Scott and family, and party with best friends.
Murphy's favorite spot!
Needing a haircut but always smiling
That just can't be comfortable!
Our little old man
Murphy was...
