We had just moved into our new house in November of 2006 and were anxious to show it off on our Christmas card. We were sending this to mostly out-of-state friends, as this was also our first card being sent from Vermont. We took a photo of the front of the house, but the card needed something else... so we added the cow. It was not a very snowy winter yet, so we had to add some white stuff in Photoshop.
