Oh wow! A family portrait- so cute! Love the details in this, too!!!

Oh how great is is to see a happy scene like this! I'm guessing it's post Gatch F (poor Dr. Nambu...). We all know that, somehow, the Ninjas survived! Will "Uncles" Joe, Ryu and Jinpei be coming over later? Wouldn't be surprised if the blue car is a gift from Joe!

Love the detail, anyone notice the wall portrait of Nambu and RI behind the tree? A real family scene, well done to whoever the artist is!

Oh ... just as Christmas should be ... especially for Ken and Jun, and their family! ... hoping that as LB has rightly said all the "uncles" will join in later! Such warmth conveyed both by the family aspect, as KT has mentioned, and by the colours used in the already warm scene! It's nice to see some deserved serenity after all they've been through ... their faces have returned youthful!

Beautiful, love the details, and the happiness shown, bravo to the artist

This is so sweet and heart-warming, although I have to wonder why 'little Ken' is getting a car instead of a plane for Christmas! I think LB was right when she said it was a gift from Uncle Joe. I also noticed the 'fathers' pictures in the back, which adds a nice touch... there is a sense of permanence about the picture which is important, given what we know of Ken's and Jun's backgrounds. I like the frame in the first version... it gives it more of a 'homey' feel! Just thought... I'm glad this isn't BOTP, or the poor kid might have gotten a Zark toy!

This is a nice, heartwarming piece. I love the details and colours the artist used . I am looking at the baby's lighter brown hair and wondering if maybe Ken and Jun are giving baby Joe the toy car, and Joe is the one "viewing the scene*.

That's a very nice picture. Kudos to the artist.

I hadn't thought of that idea. I've seen a lot of kids who start off with light hair and it darkens up as they grow up. Of course it could also be that I just like the idea of the Eagle's son growing up to be into cars instead of planes. Either way, I too, really like both versions of this picture. I can easily see the bottom one as it happening Christmas Eve or Morning and the top as the framed snapshot taken.

The babies in my family tend to start out with black hair, then go blonde and their hair darkens with age. My son was the exception with strawberry blonde hair from his Dad'd side. Mark's hair tends to be that color most of the time, so their son could have lighter hair.

I did that. My hair went from black to bald to dishwater blonde to golden brown to black (at least that is what my roots look like just before I color my hair).

I was just thinking that with Princess's black hair and Mark's dark brown a child would probably have dark hair as well. I did not know that a babies hair tends to start light and darken as they age. But then that would make sense as my once dirty blonde hair is turning mousy coloured these days.

My two kids had two different experiences! ... my son's hair was a very light brown (could say almost blonde!) in colour when he was a baby and afterwards became a lot darker as he grew up, whilst my daughter's hair turned to dark brown, with some natural highlights here and there, from a total jet black! What I do miss are those baby curls, though! Both have lost them as they grew up!

Thank-you!! This is beautiful! I'm going to print this out on photo paper. It will be placed in a viewing position on the bookshelf with my comic books. Interesting note. The car the little one is getting looks like a blue super beetle. My parents first car was a blue super beetle! I remember riding around in that car for my first three years of my life. Great picture triggering wonderful memories.
