Christmas Video 2010


As many of you know, it has become tradition in our family to make a Christmas video for family and friends in lieu of sending out Christmas cards. {You can see 2008 here and 2009 here.} This is the latest installment! We had so much fun making it-- I'll be sharing some behind-the-scenes photos and tid-bits next week. In the meantime, consider this our heartfelt wish that you and yours have a delightful Christmas and happy New Year.

    So adorable! Love it all- especially E's and Little Miss C's dream sequences, and you and J's pop up lip synch. These always just make me smile and feel happy, everything one wants from the Holiday Season - I totally agree you guys have a gift.

    And good call on J's part to talk you into keeping the wall painting up through Christmas! It's the ultimate holiday decor!

    Ok, I'm off to find a Christmas tree that looks exactly like your chocolate wall one...
