Sheridan and Allen.

  Our First Christmas!

There’s nothing that says Merry Christmas quite like
a thousand yard stare and a Cher impression.

I’ve never done a personalized card before and I’m pretty sure Al could say the same. We’re sentimental saps, though, so we knew we wanted to do one.

(It’s probably safer to say that I knew I wanted one, and Al went along because he’s good like that.)

We had a lot of ideas, many of which involved a beautiful coating of snow outside. With the weather being uncooperative, we had to come up with other options. The lights in the picture are the old fashioned, non-led ones that get surface-of-the-sun hot in less than a minute and when we first tried to take the picture I left them on until Al said “They’re burning me.”

So I tried to set the timer on the camera, plug the lights in and duck into the lights Al was holding. I wasn’t quite quick enough the first time, and the result is the picture you see here.
We were VERY tempted to use it for the card.

Maybe next year.
