Christmas 2012.

A very satisfied man. That's my sister's husband there with the Farley Mowat beard*. He prepared, from total scratch, the gorgeous Christmas feast we are all about plough through.

Clockwise from lower left: my nephew; step-dad; Mom; sister-in-law; my bro in the back there, and finally, the chef du jour. My sis is out of the shot.

*one day in the future, if he feels like it, he could totally rock a Henrik Ibsen beard too.
