This was the card we sent out this year - and I'm still not sure how many people noticed John's little Easter egg:
:D
Whatever you're celebrating this season, I hope you have an incredible day filled with all the laughter, hugs, and good food you can stand.
And to those struggling to find the "merry and bright" right now: you're not alone. You're never alone. {hugs}
First thing I looked for was a hidden Mickey in the light dots... Is it the robot head on Lily's jammies?
ReplyDeleteA very Happy Merry to you, John, and the kitties! Thank you for doing what you do, you make so many people so happy!
ReplyDeleteCustom Lily jammies! That's a Merry Christmas right there. Merry Christmas to you & John and all the best for the coming year :)
ReplyDeleteD'Awwwww... Merry Christmas to you, Johm. Tonks, and Lily!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute! The epbot robot!! Merry Christmas Jen, John, Lily, and Tonks!!
ReplyDeleteI saw Eppey as soon as I opened my card! Woot!
ReplyDeleteJohn is so talented at graphic design work!
Happy Christmas, guys!

Same here! So clever - loved it!!
DeleteMy eyes flew right to the robot on the sweater! I think that's it? That is such a pretty and adorable picture! I also love the font choice against the dark, sparkly background.
ReplyDeleteI love the EPBOT jammies!!! Lily's eyes are the perfect gift for everyone today! ;-D
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Jen and crew! I got my geek card filled for the day: gave a Star Wars shirt and a Raspberry Pi to my teen! I also stitched this Firefly cross stitch for hubby.
ReplyDeleteI see the robot...but why are her pupils so round? It's freaking me out!!
ReplyDelete"You're never alone." As someone who enjoys being alone. ..just a tad creepy to me. :)
ReplyDeleteJust wait until your husband retires...
DeleteHa ha ha!!!
DeleteAnd a Happy Merry Merry to you, John, and the fuzzbabies today, too! Thank you for making me smile throughout the year!
ReplyDeleteI want Epbot jammies! The buttons were a hit w/ my kids (they're battling for the portal one) but jams would be even better. You could list the print on Spoonflower for us sewing people =)
ReplyDeleteThe happiest of holidays to y'all!
Merry Christmas! I enjoy both your blogs very very much. You and John bring such joy to this world. I wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteThe Epbot robot on her jammies of course. But who is looking at that when that beautiful face is gazing out at us, hmmmm?

So sweet - love the Epbot jammies on Miss Lily. Merry Christmas to you, John, Lily, Tonks and your extended family too! May 2016 be peaceful for everyone. We all need to be reminded to take the time to breathe sometimes. I am grateful for you and John sharing your lives with us and reminding us that there is more out there to enjoy and to keep persevering.
ReplyDeletePretty Lily...does Tonks ever feel left out? ;)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Jen and John, lovely photo of Lily and great jumper with the Epbot logo, I hope you had a fantastic day.
ReplyDeleteHilariously enough, I didn't notice it until I saw this post. And then I gasped in delight - with a little bit of "How the heck did I not see it before?"
ReplyDeleteHope you guys had a great Christmas!
Love the epbot- well done! Feel free to hope for merry and bright but find grace in being a place of warmth (yeah, I know, Florida) and comfort with a loved one.
ReplyDeleteFrom someone else who tends to feel run over by the holiday spirits
I know there is only a small chance you will see this, but I figured it's worth a shot. In February my husband and I are going on our honeymoon to Disneyworld (WOO!). But, my husband suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, and hasn't been to an amusement park in years (I think he thought it wouldn't be a problem, but the closer we get to our vacation, the worse his anxiety is getting). Do you have any advice on how to manage our visit there so if he needs to we can escape the crowds/or any techniques to help him get through it? Any advice from yourself or fellow readers would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteHave him go in front of you in lines. He can stand as far back from the group before you as makes him comfortable, and you'll be the buffer behind him. Due to not being used to backpacks and cultural differences regarding personal space you get bumped a LOT in queues. Eat at off times, lunch before 11:30/after 1, dinner before 4/after 6:30. Know where first aid at each location is before entering the parks, you can go there if overwhelmed and just park on a cot for a bit to decompress. Watch Wishes from the Polynesian beach.
DeleteSomeone mentioned Spoonflower for the fabric and I concur! I would love to make jammies from an Epbot print.
ReplyDeleteHope your Christmas was fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI loved the card! It's hanging up now, a testament to the fact that I know cool people and that they even sent me an autograph! ;)
