Christmas Card 2010

Well, what have we here...one, two, three...

...four and five little gnomes! (well, one big gnome)




Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth(and I thought I was on the ball, ha!), I mentioned that I would post our Halloween pictures, after I sent out my Christmas card.

Better late than never, right?

For Halloween this year, we were 5 gnomes and a fairy.

We brought our tripod along on this venture thinking it would be a great way to get a family photo. I hired Finn as our photographer for $1. He was in charge of pushing the timer button. I SO wish I had a picture of him behind the camera with his little grey gnome hat peeking out.

As I was thumbing through these photos a few days ago, I sighed happily. We really had the best time ever being gnomes and a fairy.

Just roaming the woods, as is our custom.

I made the boys' costumes first...didn't really even think I'd have time to dress up this year. But I found the dress at Target for around $20. I thought, "I can always wear it again"(And I do! Just wore it two days ago with my black boots).

It had been years and YEARS since I have dressed up for Halloween. I am so glad that I did. So much fun.

Finn was doing some sort of dance. I loved it.

"I'm the king of the castle, and not a dirty rascal."

And yes, I had ridiculous amounts of fun making little felt gnome hats, suspenders and belts.

Do not mess with this gnome.


And now, presenting, the front of our Christmas card for 2010.

The middle of the card:

The back of the card.

Here is Finn's little drawing of our costumes. Love his rendition of the fairy:)

Calvin also drew his version. Precious to me.

I wish to go back to the woods.

Merry Christmas!!!

p.s. John got me photoshop for my birthday this year and I've been playing around a little.
