We wish you a Happy Happy Happy Christmas!

The Making of the Card

This year we chose to go with a Dynasty themed Christmas card: Duck Dynasty, that is. The Robertson family has been popping up a lot this year with everything thing from chia heads to talking Uncle Si dolls with glowing beards and everything in between. So, we pulled out our camo and our serious faces (and some not so serious ones too) to bring you this year's card - we hope you enjoy!

What was one of your favorite memories from 2013?

For me it isn't just one memory, but more of the stage of life my family is in right now - late summer afternoons coming home to see my wife and kids swimming in the pool, laughing, playing, eating, and just enjoying themselves. My oldest kid's first day of school - she didn't miss a beat; she seemed to be ready to start her education and showed very little hesitation. My son building his forts in the living room and seeing his creativity with my youngest's diaper boxes - he would have me cut out the bottom of the box and use them to build up the entrances, it was awesome.

Christmas means so many things - family, faith, friends, giving, fellowship - that I don't think any one food item can really sum it up.
