2016 was a great year for us- Stranger Things came into our lives . . . and so did our first child, Emilia (Emmy). There’s a lot of couch-sitting in the first year of a baby’s life and we were pretty grateful that she was young enough to watch whatever we wanted to watch!
Movie Poster Comparison
“Rodean Halloween” is just too perfect. It rhymes. Also, check out our cat Harper’s name, upside down in the lower right corner. Yes, it’s upside down because her character “Will” is in the Upside Down pretty much the whole season.
Behind the Scenes
Lincoln
The Demogorgon’s mouth design was pretty tough to replicate, so I cut out “petals” out of stiff felt and attached them to his collar.
Emmy
In 2016 we had binge-watched the first season of Stranger Things. Emmy’s baldness was the inspiration for the theme of our Halloween card. Sorry, Emmy . . . that came from Mom.

Emmy dressed up in traditional Mexican dress sent by Kara’s oldest friend and with a Frida Kahlo finger puppet. And our first experimentations with Facebook filters. Emmy watched these 2 seconds over and over again on repeat. And now you can too!
