Now the family has expanded and younger brother Elijah and little sister Evelyn have joined the traditional Christmas card. Every year, the photos are more intricate as the family expands and the children are growing up.

This year we also talked to Jonathan and asked what was the inspiration behind the composition. He told us that usually he gets an idea for a photo just observing what fascinates his kids. This year the children have been watching The Grinch and Polar Express so the dad “tried to imagine how they might try to re-enact that in real life (with a little inspiration from ‘Up’)…and that’s what led to the idea.”
