All Fan Art in Holiday

I was going to just leave this on Tumblr, but I felt like 7 month old Nini Schneider was too scandalous to be lost so many pages deep. That baby picture is worth a million, so I'm putting it here so she never forgets.

I remember the days when our mom would have us dress up for Easter. Not my favorite part of the day, or the church service that felt like it dragged for ages, but I'll tell ya I loved the colored hard boiled eggs and candy! I'm still not exactly keen on dress shirts. Or ironing them. And ties, the working man's noose? No thanks. But enough about my editorial on dress clothes (and yes, even if I dislike them I'll still wear them where appropriate, I'm not a slob).

I thought this would be a cute idea, but I got lazy and tired of working on it. This is why group pictures need to be done days in advance, or with no deadline, because I have to take breaks from them. With that in mind, I like 2014's better, but it's nice to see the full extension of Nidorino's family, even if Chicolita and Eevee are only an adopted niece and nephew respectively. Time to go to Fern Garden to show it all off! Also, I like how Needles looks like he's going to mix me a drink, or deal some cards or something.

Ricky felt he should show some appreciation for his short buddy; I'd have to guess she appreciated the flowers and a gift, but didn't expect his gesture afterwards. :P

Even the smallest of gifts can mean a lot to those you love!

Now this is one I wanted to do. Instead of being loud and flashy, I just wanted to show the simple, at home experience with a very subdued, not-very-celebratory transition into the new year. Just a quiet evening with the TV down real low, and a few kids who get to rub in their elders' faces that they were able to stay up to midnight and that those "old guys" didn't. Of course, it's those same "old guys" that take care of them all the time, why do you think they're so tired?

I also enjoy how the daughters always look like they never know what the heck is going on in the world around them.

I don't know if this is true for all babies, but once my niece has her sights on something, she goes right after it and doesn't stop no matter how many times you move her away or even move/hide the object. That's essentially Diana right here. I can just imagine the moment right before now... "Oh honey, the baby's in the tree" "The baby's in the-?--WHOA!" Meanwhile, Nina's been sleeping underneath it and not a thing was said. Probably because she's finally quiet.

You know, combined with the beginning of Creative Worlds, I bet within the total time these sites have been up, some people have likely started having children of their own. Isn't that a wild thought?

How did Diana go unnoticed in Nidorina's purse for that long? You'd think Nidorina would've found it got noticeably heavier, or maybe she just thought "gee that's a lot of receipts/chocolate bars no one's supposed to know I have" and just kept going. Or she was so frazzled by 364 days of screaming babies that she just beelined to the spa without any awareness.

If the Toxic Spikes don't get you, the Cadbury Creme Eggs will.

This years' Valentines holiday artwork just for you! I can only manage one picture however yet I put all my heart into it. ;) -- SteCisTTWG P.S. A bit cliche to say this but we're having the storm of the century here in the UK. I managed to send this in the morning but not the night before since the file sending got affected by the weather.
