Vicki’s eagerly been waiting for flowers since October, so she quite literally has a gigantic water balloon full of anticipation swirling around inside her belly (along with Bunko Junior). If I were to suddenly hand her flowers at this point, that tense balloon would immediately pop and release a gigantic tidal wave of anticipation all over Baby Bunko.
So the point is, I gave Vicki a baby, and for the good of the baby, I absolutely cannot give her flowers. Don’t cry for Vicki, cry for me, the tragic guy who wishes he could give his wife flowers but can’t for the good of a fetus.
Perhaps I should stop writing “Buy Vicki Flowers” on my sort of daily to do list.
IT’S A GIRL
And her name is Bunko Jr. until otherwise noted.
2011 CHRISTMAS CARD REJECTS
These were all rejected as “keepers” because Vicki obviously was refusing to take the shoot seriously. I know it’s probably hard to focus when you’ve got a fetus stealing all your nutrients, but damn, it’s not like I was asking her to do taxes for a grumpy porcupine.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY 09 - “PREGNANCY SCARE”
This polaroid was taken a few years back during one of our desert adventures in California. As the sun was setting we pulled over near a field and shot off our final polaroid. I’m not quite sure what we were going for with this one, but I rather like it.
The distraught looks on our underexposed faces makes me think the following conversation is probably being had…
Vicki: “I think I might be pregnant.”
Me: “Like, with a baby?”
Vicki: “Yep.”
Me: “Not a good time woman.”

“LOVE YOUR SANTAS”
So I may have fibbed a bit in my previous post. These Santas are not some random guys I found on Craigslist, rather, they are my uncles, my dad, and my grandpa. And yes, if you look closely, they are all living the Miller High Life!
Oh, and for those of you who have been following along, Vicki is “pregnant” for the fourth year in a row.

“OLD FAITHFUL”
We did WAY too many takes of this as having the can explode right when the timer went off proved to be quite challenging. I was literally covered in soaking wet Miller High Life and deeply regret not bringing a change of clothes, much less a towel, to this shoot. The three hour drive back to our apartment was extremely damp, sticky, and smelly. Had I been pulled over things could have been pretty interesting.

“TORNADO OF CHRISTMAS DESTRUCTION”
This shot turned out more or less how we envisioned it, minus the red and white balloons, all of which blew away moments before we took our first shot. Literally, we had a helium tank and probably 50 balloons, and a big ol’ gust of wind literally blew them all away as I was setting up the camera. My biggest regret in life is not thinking fast and taking a photo of all the balloons floating away. Instead I was just walking around merrily kicking stuff out of anger.

No. 03 - “D’OH CHRISTMAS TREE”
This photo is a pretty good representation, albeit a bit exaggerated, of daily life in Tanner and Vicki land.
Also, high fives to anyone who can find Rigby in this picture.

No. 01 - “COLLECT CALL GIRL”
In 2008 Vicki and I packed up and headed out to our brand new “vacation dream trailer” to take our annual Christmas Card photo. In this shot Vicki is on the phone trying to reach Carl, the scuba instructor who sold us the alleged “dream trailer”, to let him know that it needed more than a few repairs.

“MERRY MILLER HO HO HIGH LIFE”
We had about 100 of these made up at Target. I believe the caption read “Tramps like us, baby we were born to run - The Boss” followed by “Peace! Tanner and Vicki”. Obviously we were heavy into Bruce Springsteen at the time. Actually, I was the only one heavy into Bruce, I’m not too sure Vicki was all that thrilled with the caption.
A bit of trivia: We’ve been portraying variations of these two lovable characters in every Christmas Card since the beautiful disaster you see here.
Another bit of trivia: I’m wearing ladies pants in this photo.
