2016 Christmas card

Last Saturday we took our annual family Christmas card picture. We always have used my 54 F100 but it is not running right now so we posed by her brother my 55 F350. It will be interesting to see how many of our relatives and friends notice.

We had planned on standing in front of the truck with the pine trees behind us but my wife thought it would be neat to be between the trees and the truck. I think it turned out pretty good.



And in keeping with the season, Merry Christmas to all!

Here are some wide shots I took with my cell phone while waiting for the photographer, my sister in law. This is at our soccer clubs complex. The pine trees are a nice border between us and our neighbors.

She was right - good pic. Like many of us, Abe, it appears that you married up. Well done.

Hey, now! That sounds like a backhanded compliment! But thanks! I guess I played too hard and was put away wet too many times.

Thanks, we've been doing it since 1997 when my son was 5 years old and my 54 was still a rust bucket.

Very heartwarming pictures. They are not only very good photographs, but they actually let you feel the love and joy of your family. The kind of thing that Norman Rockwell was so good at achieving, the transferring of feelings into print. Thank you for sharing these precious looks into your life. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas.

The wife made our last run of the season in the F-2 before it's long winter nap to get a Christmas tree last Saturday
