I LOVE Christmas cards. We have sent out Christmas cards every year since we have been married and I love looking at the changes in our family year over year. I also keep every Christmas card we have ever gotten because I like doing the same thing with other peoples families too!
I started brainstorming about this year's card back in the summer (I clearly have too much time on my hands). I knew I wanted it to be something special so that when we looked at that card in years to come we would instantly know that 2014 was the Christmas we lived in Morocco.
Luckily, we live really close to the beach and the guys who give camel rides to tourists literally walk right in front of our house everyday on their way to the beach. I realized that nothing screams "Morocco" like camels! So, we had a camel come to our house for a little Christmas card photo shoot!
We didn't end up with that many great pictures because either the camel wasn't looking, Lily wasn't looking or Lily was doing her creepy toddler smile, but it will surely go down as one of the most memorable things we have ever done. You will also notice that our cat, Tessa, photo bombed almost all of the pictures and had to be cropped out. She is such a diva.
Here comes the camel!
He didn't fit through the front gate, so he had to come through the carport gate.
He was ready for his close up.
The camel started moving and I panicked!
Off to his next job...
