Merry Christmas! Cards

Chris insisted on drawing our Christmas card again this year, but it didn't come as easily as in past years.

First attempt:

It was just a rough layout.  Elle said to add bunny ears. I'm not sure why.

I said we could leave them and say "Merry Christmas from the Harveys" 

Get it?  Big white rabbit. . .

Ha ha. 

(We just watched that the other day)

Some other details/back story you might not see at first glance:

Chris only has half of his glasses; I'm the one in the middle; Elle is doing a yoga pose because she stands like that sometimes; Chris has an extra arm on the left; and it is supposed to say "Merry Christmas" there on the bottom.

The next card was vetoed by me because I look like a 4 year old in PJ's.  Chris said he made me small because 

1- I am
and 

2. I wouldn't fit in the Christmas tree otherwise.

He said he kept telling himself (and me) it was just perspective and I was so high up that I appeared small.
 Neither of us believed it.

The next card was also vetoed by me because look at the giant box I'm standing on!  I'm even wearing heels, and yet, I'm still short!

Chris said no one would recognize me if he made me any taller.

There was another version that made me look like Francine from Arthur because my mouth was huge and wide.

NOT showing that one.

He compromised by turning the box into a gift and making it a little shorter.

Cute huh?

.

Well, the night he finished it, he tossed and turned and said he could never send it out because it was so terrible he'd be ashamed.
Whatever
(eye roll) Artists!

The final attempt was mailed yesterday at 4:47pm just before final mail pick-up.



And just for fun,
here's the Christmas card Elle worked long and hard on using Minecraft:

So cute! 

I know I'm impressed!

She even has little presents under the tree! 

Man, that girl is creative!
