Christmas Card: Squeaken noise

We take extreme pride in our Christmas cards, it became a tradition in 2007 when we first moved in together and accidently took a photo that cracked me up {it was for an ugly Christmas sweater party} & it inspired me to take the time to make 100 cards.  That was the birth of our obsession.  We gradually got more gun-ho and creative throughout the years, excluding 2008, that’s the year we were planning our wedding and we moved in with my parents to save for our house; with our time spread thin, I opted out, there was no way I’d send out a skimpy card… people would’ve been disappointed!

Cody is OBSESSED with Christmas Vacation, actually, his entire family is, we start watching it on thanksgiving… I know, it’s crazy.  It was even the theme of his parent’s Christmas party and you came dressed as a character.  This Card was inspired by our favorite scene.  Here are our outtakes
 
Aunt Bethany & Uncle Lewis
 
Figuring out how to make Lashes/Squirrel look like she was jumping out of the tree

 
Trial and error to have the effect of Diesel chasing Lashes

Our Group shots that didn’t make the cut

And just some cute photos of the kids
*Side Note: we colored Diesel’s hair black… but we ran out of dye so we were only able to do his back… good thing you only see his belly, right?  Oh well
