I just thought if I received a Christmas card from you and I opened it up in front of my tree which pic would match the spirit I think of when I think of you and your boys, and I had to pick the first one. Great smiles, great eyes, big love, those extraordinary boys of yours. Love it. <br /><br />P.S. I like stretchy faces too but I don't love that Miles is not really looking at the camera....<br /><br />P.P.S. Aren't you sad you asked my opinion?
