2005

FRONT: While Holly, Sadie Belle and Baxter
all loved the sledding expedition, Kenny was
left questioning the wisdom of having
purchased an off-brand toupee adhesive.

For a couple of years, Holly had been wanting to do a Norman Rockwell treatment for a Christmas card. There were two problems keeping us from it, though. For one, we couldn’t come up with a great Rockwell-esque Christmas scene. Secondly, where could we find someone who could pull it off? We came up with both in 2005. Wes shot individual photos of each of us (including Michael Manfredi for the deep background), then handed them over to an incredible artist named Tanenbaum (great coincidence, eh?) who gave us this amazing Rockwellian portrait. This was, far and away, the costliest Christmas card we’ve produced, but we got a fantastic 26x20 framed, original canvas painting out of the deal. We hang it up every holiday season.
