All the shopping and craziness is done and now it&#8217;s just time to celebrate with family and friends. I wanted to share with you guys our first Christmas card as a married couple! It was strange not putting Amato anywhere on this card. We are now The Greffs, which is funny to say&#8230; I&#8217;m sure eventually I&#8217;ll get used to it!<\/p>\n<p>Since we don&#8217;t have kids yet, it seemed like the cool thing to do was take pictures with your dogs, haha! So here are our babies: Shortee is a Collie\/Australian Shepard mix and Lexie is a Maltese. It took us about 15 shots to get the one below! It was drizzling outside, the dogs weren&#8217;t cooperating, it was cold and Randy&#8217;s patience was running thin with the self timer on my camera!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what we got&#8230;. take 20!
