A visit to Pere Noel

It took 2 hours and 2 trains, but we made it to Pere Noel. Please note the following:

1. The lines across the picture are from an issue with our scanner, the actual picture is fine.
2. Niamh was totally uninterested in being on Pere Noel's lap.
3. Muriel was only slightly more interested in being on Pere Noel's lap
4. The spot on Rowan's head was caused by Emily letting Rowan play with the clippers after she was done cutting his hair.

Rowan actually talked with Pere Noel this year, which is a significant improvement from the last visit.
