Christmas Card Photo Shoot

I'm convinced that the only people who look at our blog are those who received our Christmas card this year (and probably only a portion of them actually checked it out when they got the card).  But in the unlikely instance that there is someone who hasn't seen this picture yet, here is our Christmas card picture for this year:

 

Not that exciting, I know.  However, the exciting part was getting that photo taken.  Across the street from our apartment complex there is a field with large trees and bushes.  The combination of seeing these every day, thinking about the Christmas card we needed to send, and not having a good picture of just the two of us from this year led me to one conclusion:  We could run over there for a quick photo shoot and kill three birds with one stone.

Rather than dragging a friend into doing a free photo shoot for us, we decided to build our own photographer.  With Sarah working on her research in the other room, I put together our tripod.

While some may enjoy our Christmas card picture more, I thought the best part was our photographer, who didn't get any credit until now.  Here is our photographer, posing with me and Sarah.
