Anatomy of a Christmas Card

1) Twice a year the grounds of the White House are opened for the First Lady's Garden Tour. We were luck to be in DC on one of those weekends - this was in October. (Earlier post here)

2) Erin samples the wine at one of the vineyards on our inadventent "Sideways" tour of wineries in California back in May.

3) We helped Disneyland celebrate their 50th anniversary during our trip to Southern California. Erin's mom was there on the first day it opened in 1955, cementing the Disney connection that runs deep.

4) Mr. French takes a break while biking through DC to pose in front of the anti-communist China rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

5) Cyber shows off her Christmas haircut.

6) Having lunch on the Pacific on Catalina island off the California coast back in May.

7) Our visit to Anacapa - an island refuge off the California coast.
