Happy New Year, everyone!

Kris's mom Eleanor has been taking pictures of all of us here at the farm ever since she moved in six weeks ago during that Thanksgiving holiday of yours. (And did I mention that I decided after that *huge* dinner that pumpkin pie with whipped cream is now my second-favorite dessert, right after cookies?) Anyway, Kris puts the pictures she takes up on the farm's server where we can all get at them, and I decided to share them with everyone else at the other residences because some of them are so cute!

I'll start with some of my favorites, and post more every few days. I don't want to overwhelm everyone now!


Talking about cute... Jaune and Pyrrha! Eleanor took this on Thanksgiving, and it wasn't nearly as warm out as you might think from looking at it, but she likes posing people on or near one of the sets of steps up to the porch. (For those of you who haven't been, the house is *huge* -- bigger than our house on Patch -- and we have a *lot* of porch!)



These next couple are from about a month later, after one of the snowstorms. Jaune helped dig us out:



Pyrrha had a little trouble handling the snow and the cold at first, because Mistral's a lot warmer than Minnesota. Kris said the climate of Mistral is supposed to be kind of like your Mediterranean area in a lot of ways? Anyway, when she's bundled up, she can cope with the winter weather:



Blake isn't that happy with the cold, though, no matter how much she bundles up. Sorry, Blake!




And since I've posted one of my team, here's the rest of us.

Don't you dare throw that snowball at me, Yang!



Weiss looking elegant like usual. (I get so jealous sometimes. Then I have a cookie and I'm better.)



And me! Eleanor takes such good pictures of all of us!



I guess it's only fair that I finish up Team JNPR, since I started with Jaune and Pyrrha.

Ren was trying to stay out of the snowball fight, although he was enjoying watching it. Of course, like ten seconds after Eleanor took this, Yang nailed him in the face with a snowball.




And Nora after Yang got *her* with a snowball, too.




EDIT: Oh, I just have to add this one. I talked Weiss into dressing like a farm girl, just for fun. She didn't want to but I pestered her until she did it just to shut me up. Never underestimate the power of persistence! Anyway, I think she looks *so* cute!



Anyway, that's it for this batch. I'll post more in a day or two!

We've got a lot of people here who need to cheer up. Can we come over and have a snowball fight?

Yes, we know you're huntsmen and huntresses. We have senshi and espers.

Cute? Cute? How dare you besmirch this angel! To call her merely "cute" is to describe the sun as a nightlight, to liken a symphony to a doorbell chime, to mistake a rare diamond for common glass. It is a criminal understatement — an act of linguistic larceny that robs splendor of its due.

Such a tragic failure of vocabulary demands corrective action! I shall see to the production of a doujin in her honor — no, an epic! Fifty pages at least, gorgeously inked, lovingly shaded, with rose petals on every page and sparkles in every panel. It will be sold at Comiket to gasps and reverence, and scholars shall debate its symbolism for decades. Only then will justice be done!

Mrs. Wikstrom is a really good photographer. Do you think she'd be willing to take some pictures of me for the portfolio I'm putting together?

Hi, Ruiko! I can't answer for everyone (especially while I'm hiding from Weiss ) but I'd be happy to! But it'd have to be on Saturday or Sunday, when we don't have school. And you should probably ask Kris, just to be sure.

Would Usagi be coming? It was great to meet her at the Christmas party but I really didn't get to talk to her for very long.

Hi, Glo! Maybe? I don't know. But she has an email address now, Skuld set her up with one just last week -- eleanor.wikstrom@managers.yggdrasil -- you should mail her directly and ask.

Probably not. I know I wish *I* wasn't.

And Ruby? You do remember we share a bedroom? I *will* find you before the end of the day unless you plan on sleeping in the barn.

How can Yang go around in an open coat and a belly shirt in the middle of winter in Minnesota? I mean, Chicago's winters are almost as bad as yours, and no one here would do that.

And those are some weird cuffs on her coat sleeves.

I'm just that hot, Cameron. Maybe too hot for you to handle.

Oh, and those aren't cuffs. That's Ember Celica, my weapon. Never leave home without it!

You got to talk to her at the party? I thought she spent the entire party under the mistletoe with Mamoru. (We know he's your boyfriend, girl! Pay some attention to the rest of us!)

Yeah, we'll all come if it's on a Saturday. Except Rob-oji and Hyoga. They say they got enough snow on the solstice.

Sorry, Doctor, but Ruiko gave me such a perfect setup for an "Avengers" reference, I couldn't resist!

I still say shooting down snowballs with it is cheating.

Yeah, that's why I didn't get to say anything to her much past "hi!"

Nah, I'm fine. I was trying to dodge Yang's throw, and I slipped in the snow. Besides that was more than a week ago, and even if I did get hurt I'd be all healed up now anyway.

But thanks for asking!

Hey, Ruby, you can sleep in our room if you're still hiding from Weiss. We won't snitch!

Shouldn't you be busy hiding from Weiss instead of complaining about a snowball fight a week ago?

I've got my scroll with me -- I can do both!

Thanks, Nora, but I'm good. But I wouldn't mind if you wanted to stay between Weiss and me on the way to school tomorrow.
