Our Christmas Card

I posted a little preview of our family walk where we took our Christmas card photo but I didn't share the image we selected for the final print. Now that they've been mailed out here's the final product!

a new Christmas

This will be our first Christmas together. This year is the start of the rest of all the Christmases.
