'50s Christmas Card Attempt
Tim had this great idea to create a '50s inspired Christmas card this year after we found some really old glasses in my grandfather's attic. We didn't go with the '50s theme so I'll share the pictures we took here. We just couldn't get the right look. Any ideas for next year's theme?

Let's have a latte!
