Noah in his jester winter gear

Noah modelling his new blue and green jester hat, scarf, and mittens.

On Saturday, I finished the hat for a scarf/mitten/hat set, the first two components of which I had completed last winter. The photo of Noah proudly modeling it was in the layout from last week, but here it is again. We could only find one mitten for the photo, so that is why he is only holding up one hand.

Three little boys smiling at the camera

Jude, Jabin, and Noah posing for the camera, Noah still in his jester set.

Of course, as soon as I pull out the camera (which is a daily occurrence now), all the boys want to be in the photo, and then immediately ask "Can I see, Mom?"

But really, who can resist these cherubic smiles?
