YULETIDE BABY BOOM!

Remember last December 25th, when my gnomes

Fearsome the Fierce
and
Hengist the Hairy

unexpectedly and miraculously

Wulfbane the Wee? 


Well, they're at it again!
Fearsome and Hengist are.
I must say,
surprisingly fertile
for a gay couple.

Except this time, they produced
TWO baby gnomes!

Everyone, say hello to:

Tomte the Tiny

who is apparently a prodigy at
real estate wheeling and dealing
and already has his 
own gingerbread place!


And please give
another big welcome to:

Hedley the Half-Pint

who quickly exhibited a
deep affinity with rainbows!

Takes after his Dads, I guess.


Many thanks to the midwives
present at the miracle births:
my sister and Mistress Maddie.

LOVE em, before you know it they will take over the house.

Mistress Maddie said...

I'm still trying to figure out which one was actually carrying? And here you thought you'd be safe with male gnomes.

And I have that exact same bottle brush tree with the little balls in it.

Now we all know what Fearsome and Hengist have been doing this winter... just like rabbits!

Welcome to the world, Tomte and Hedley -- just watch out for your big brother, Wulfbane, who has been trained by Debra in the art/torture of sibling rivalry, LOL!

Welcome to the world babies!

Gnomaculate conception? Ha.
Cute stuff.
Cheers!

@ Mistress Maddie -- I think Fearsome and Hengist spell each other off. And with your love of bottle brush trees, I'd be surprised if you DIDN'T have this one too!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- I ASSURE you that I am the World's Best Sibling, the penguin gift wrap notwithstanding.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Rawknrobyn -- That is an INSPIRED groaner, you clever wordsmith!

Oh, how I love these. But can you imagine the pain of those births? Unless, like bones, they're more bendy at birth. Ouch.

More medical marvels chez Debra! This family is burgeoning.

Lady M said...

They are breeding like rabbits - soon you'll be knee deep in gnomes!

Marie Smith said...

Always room for more!

Another version of parthenogenesis. Yay for gay gnomes! Such a handsome family.

Congratulations they’re adorable.
I’m sure they add to the festive feelings

River said...

They are gorgeous! I love them all. I acquired a Nordic Gnome myself this Christmas, I named him Ragnar.

Mike said...

I'm with Marie. It's parthenogenesis for sure.

Kirk said...

Soon the world will be overrun by gnomes. Maybe they'll do a better job at running it.

Cute!

Sandy said...

LOVE all your cute Gnomes. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Stay warm and healthy.

Guillaume said...

I haven't bought Yule gnomes as of yet. I only have autumn gnomes and Halloween gnomes.

Martha said...

HAHA! SO cute. What a happy and quirky little family.

Richard said...

Yikes! I love all my gnomes equally, but Tomte might move to town and forget his roots.

Ur-spo said...

Tomtes and Nissen and such seem to breed like rabbits despite I never see the lady-types. What gives?

baili said...

Nothing is impossible here so welcome to newly born haha

Ol'Buzzard said...

Perhaps this summer you might contemplate gnome houses in your yard as in the movie Eurovision Song Contest. Your neighbors could leave offering when they ask for favors.

So cute! You're going to be overwhelmed with gnomes, Debra, if you don't watch out! Hugs to the new arrivals.
