We've been trying to come up with ideas for our Christmas card (and we need to get this done soon!) and the most recent adventure was to take Lucy outside with her mittens and coat and attempt something cute. Today I noticed the sun was shining, filtering through our snow-dusted spruce trees, and the ground was white and sparkling... a perfect day to bring a toddler out into the winter wonderland. Of course, Lucy's only previous experience of winter involved being
bundled up in her infant carrier, with only her face peeking out, like so (Feb. 12, 2007):
So, when I set her down in the backyard, my big camera case slung over my shoulder (not yet sure how I'm going to manage not do drop my camera when and if I
do get it out), she starts to cry and sits down. I can tell right away this is not going to work like I imagined in my mind (where she is playfully toddling around in the snow, smiling and exploring...). This is definitely going to be a 2-parent job if it is to have any chance of working. Otherwise, it will be on to plan "C" (which we have not yet come up with).

Good luck! It's so much easier when they're little and can't move yet :) Our Christmas card pictures (it's a collage) really have nothing to do with Christmas itself because I couldn't bear the thought of trying to put together something holiday-ish :)
yeah - last year I just put her on a fluffy blanket and gave her a candy cane to hold - and got so many good ones it was hard to narrow it down! Now she wants to do what *she* wantsz to do...
