Alex (incredibly serious face): "Laura, a car just slid down the hill and hit into our car."
Laura (nearly jumping out of bed): "Are you serious?"
Alex (jovially): "April Fools'!"
Needless to say, April Fools' is less than my favorite day of the year. I unknowingly played an April Fool's joke on Graham, though. This is what he wore to bed last night (plus some more pictures; it's for fun); he's grown out of nearly everything else. Merry Christmas!
Also, I thought I'd share a recipe. We had this for dinner last night. It was an experiment that turned out to be delicious. Enjoy.

When it starts to smell yummy, it's probably ready.
Good with cornbread, tortillas, or plain.
