Step 1 of returning home from vacation: Frame and hang original Christmas card from Andrew for year-round display of Christmas cheer and brotherly love.
Happy Holidays!
I’m a big wimp, but am sometimes willing to suffer for the sake of art (case in point).
For this year’s holiday card, I ignored with my crippling bird phobia and allowed a chicken to be placed on my arm for a couple of minutes. It was only possible because I didn’t look at the chicken on my arm even once, and just avoided facing it at all.
My favorite behind-the-scenes photo (thanks, Jason, for placing the chicken, and thanks, Andrew, for taking the photos) :
3:30am. Finally almost at our upstate destination after a snowy drive. Also, our new dashboard mount to hold the phone for GPS doubles as a tripod!
And Christmas #2 in Plattsburgh!
We were joined by four cuties in Austin via Skype. More photos on flickr.
