I’m like Chris. I was totally enchanted with that curled lip on the little one! So funny and so priceless!

HOW CUTE! I esecially love the one playing the sax: the way his mouth is twitched as though the other side has already gotten too numb that he has to move it over, and he has his fingers on the keys too!
