tradition

two days after my last final... i have risen from the depths of sleepiness and tiredness and have cheered up significantly since my exhausting semester ended with me being unable to even pronounce my own name. i am terribly behind in holiday shopping and hoping to find something in the shops today, my mother, marco and i ventured out into the wilderness of shops around my mom's house. this explains the following story:

it is holiday tradition to torture our dogs with making them wear clothes. they hate it, but we love it and can't help taking pictures :) my mom and i bought these funny hats for our respective dogs and here's me holding them in place so they won't rip the hats to pieces... don't worry, though, no dogs were really harmed in the making of this photo, they only had to wear the hats for the picture...
