My mom e-mailed me some photos this morning!

First off, here are the handsome Duluth Sproats at the annual Red Flannel Petticoats winter dinner dance. Young Frederick won't be old enough to attend until next year. We look forward to his attendance. (I wrote about the dance here.)




Next, a Christmas morning picture of my sister and I trying out our new hats and handmade glass nail files.




And here's Shackleton. It's hard to resist posting pictures of him and his big feet.




Finally, two shots of my 2005 Buche de Noel: The Cake That Looks Like a Log!



They're not real mushrooms! They're jusmeringueses!
