I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

Anatomy of a Holiday Card

Hooray! Another Holiday card is in the books (with the exception of about five that were returned to me, which are finding their way to their rightful owners this week).

They say that half the fun is getting there.  I thought you might enjoy some shots that didn't quite make the card, but indeed helped us "get there."

Enjoy!

Test
Oopsie
Not bad but not cute enough
Silly boy
Look lively!
Almost
Not really the look we were going for 
Nobody puts baby in a corner---er, on a shelf
Love this boy 
A good nap
Nope
A little off 
Still no (but nice hair) 
Kyle boycotting Holiday card 
No likey Holiday card photos
Cuter, but a fake smile on Kyle
Kyle senses what is coming and protests 
Nope, not feeling it
Cheekers
When I said smile, I didn't mean like this 
After a few cocktails
Awww
Blurry Crocketts
In hats
Almost
Protesting yet again
That's better 
And, of course, here's our final product! (Please hold while I save the card another way for better viewing...sorry)
