Attempt at a Holiday Card





On Sunday we took Estelle out around the neighborhood attempting to get a picture for our holiday card. Unfortunately and unexpectedly it was a gray cold day...unlike the beautiful sunny days we had been having. Just like the sun, Estelle's brilliant smile did not want to make an appearance while we were out so we didn't come up with a holiday card-worthy picture. We did, however, get some beautiful shots. The pictures above were taken at our neighborhood playground.

Because the meaning of Estelle is star, Jake thought it'd be a great idea to take a pic of her with the Star Bakery sign in the background. Great idea but pretty much impossible to pull off. Jake and I were no match for the passersby, the traffic, etc. And when we did manage to get her attention, it was only for a split second with a look that said, "What's with all the racket you guys? You're really embarassing me. Be cool."

We're such losers, we haven't even attempted the holiday picture yet! Our goal is to get one tomorrow. Maybe. Any picture of Estelle is perfect though!
