Making "Ben & Jeremy Chunk"

After Jeremy was born, one of the jokes we heard was that we could call our children "Ben & Jerry". This provided the inspiration for a New Year's card based on this idea. I actually planned to do this last year, but couldn't find a good picture of a container of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, even after looking all over Ben & Jerry's web site.

This year, however, we have a digital camera, and so I bought a couple cartons of ice cream and had a photo shoot.

The picture which seemed most promising was this one,

because it had the least glare. Note also that Benjamin and I selected one of the cartons because it had an interesting picture and we thought that it would be relatively easy to change "New York" to "New Year."
