More pictures…

This shows the process I used to make this year’s “new year” card… the first good one always goes to my parents!

Here is the lovely little fir at my parents’ house — these open trees show the ornaments off so well!

And here is the elder stidkid trying out his grandfather’s cross-country skis for the first time. I asked his permission to use this image… It is impressive that he fell and got up — and fell and got up. The only way to learn! At the end he could go UP the hill on the skis, but the car tracks back down the driveway were not good for going the other way safely.
