Just another photo of a baby in a tower.

Just another photo of two babies in a tower, with a cat, by the window, where the tower goes during Christmas tree season.

Just another photo of two babies in a tower by the window with a cat and a green ball, one baby cackling, the other in the process of being extruded, Play Doh Fun Factory Style, but seeming to enjoy it. Just another photo of events getting entirely out of hand, as they tend to get these days, with the intoxicating smell of baking cookies always in the air and the temperature outside hovering in the high teens.

I worry sometimes the holiday high jinx might get out of hand, but then I step back and ask myself: Isn’t anything better than this?
