Not surprisingly, I'm a little late on making this post. Dozens of other bloggers have already taken advantage of this opportunity to receive 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly. I am merely catching up! Since I've been married, Christmas cards with our cool pictures on them have been something to look forward to every year. We've got friends and family scattered all over the world and I just like to let everyone know what we've been up to over the course of the year. And what better way to show them (on the greatest time of the year) with a cool holiday card? The best holiday cards are the ones that are personalized with your own favorite photos. And now that Baby V is here, this just gives me another reason to showcase just how cute she is...and to doll her up in something wintery/Christmasy.
This Thanksgiving, Malu's brothers and sister will be in town. Since they haven't been together in the same place at the same time for years, I've taken the opportunity (and they may think I'm cheesy for doing it) to schedule a family photo shoot while they're here. That way, I can get great pictures of them (which make for wonderful Christmas gifts for their parents/grandparents) and we can knock out our family photos with Baby V. My friend, Shay (I used to work with her husband), will be doing our pictures for us.
In any case, if I had to choose a specific card, I'd opt from the following:
Man, decisions decisions! And as I'm making this post, the Christmas spirit is sooooooo in the air (although I know Thanksgiving hasn't even passed). It's nippy out, I'm having my morning cup of coffee, and my hubby and sweet baby are still in bed. I am sooooo looking forward to the holidays...even though we'll pretty much be on the move for it this year. This will be the third straight year that we'll be in the middle of a move during the holidays. This year, we're getting ready to move to Germany (and moving out of El Paso on December 13th) and will be visiting family in Utah and Colorado. Last year, I was deployed in Iraq and trying to make it back home for Christmas (here's the crazy story). And the year before that, I was moving from Colorado to El Paso. The fun never ends.
