Our Christmas Card




the story behind the card versed by my mother:

it all started splendid
oldest...pride and joy hair
fixed just so
all ready for the Christmas
family photo

then splat
a dastardly pigeon
let go
overhead

one amused
some concerned
a day not to be forgotten
for the wrong reason

little boys smile
perfect cooperation
hat girl sees the joke
but, oldest
just a poopy day



abi had spent an hour working on her hair for our photo shoot. what kind of luck to have a pigeon poop on your head . . . it took me a little while to see the humor in it, i was frustrated that the girl i usually don't have to worry about looking great in a picture had lost it!

It's an adorable card, but I would expect nothing else from you. You are ultra talented. Also, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could instantly see the humor in such quirky moments life throws us? I'm still working on that one myself.

That story is unbelievable. Poor Abi! The card turned out GREAT, regardless! Loved seeing you. We need to do it again!!
Love you!
