IN WHICH WE POSE FOR A CANDID PHOTOGRAPH.

December 15th. In which the day is long, our children are patient, and the Christmas spirit plays hide and seek with us, along with a new car for the right price.

And watch a bit of the Grinch, whom we all identified with a bit this evening. Happy happy, world. 😉 Am I using emoji people correctly yet? Look out; I might start up a Snapchat next... ____ #longx4 #long2014 #longholiday2014 #selfportrait #mtnorway
