Merry Christmas!

Here's our annual Freeman Family Christmas Photo! Every year we have three criteria for choosing the photo:

1. How do I (Mom) look?

2. Is Reggie happy? In many of the discarded shots, Reggie appears to be attempting to escape from a horrible prison.

3. Is Jack being appropriately silly.

There is no mention of Dave in the criteria because the man is so damn photogenic and always looks good.

Merry Christmas!

"You Can't Catch Me - I'm the Gingerbread Man"

On Tuesday, Jack ran the entire way home from the bus stop singing "You can't catch me, I"m the Gingerbread Man." I couldn't help thinking about what a wonderful time this is for him and us. He's studying fairy tales at school and while we've read them before or he spent some time on them in preschool, they are having a much bigger impact on him. They incorporate the tales into their school work and he really has a chance to jump into them feet first.

Plus his favorite part was when the fox caught and subsequently ate the gingerbread man. You've gotta love it.
