Thanks. Unless they were estranged it would be extremely unusual for him not to be with them on Christmas Day. I cannot fathom a reason for her to lie. And there will be pictures too.
I'd hate for there not to be any pix, but it's always possible that with three little kids, Karr himself was the one taking photos and he's not in them.
However, it might be a larger family than we know about (I think it is) and perhaps others did take some snaps.
