Our Christmas Card

Let's see. I'm finally to the Friday before Christmas. This was our last chance to finish shopping while the kids were in school. I was still deciding on a stroller travel system and we had Christmas cards to order.

Last year I made a goal to design my own card. I considered NOT sending a card this year because I was running out of time & our family photo was cancelled because of rain. Jon said we should just send new year greetings after we had our baby. I almost bought into the idea, but I LOVE getting Christmas photo cards & family newsletters each December.

So these may not be the elegant card with a beautiful family photo like I imagined, but I really like how they came out on the fly. We've had our snapshot taken with Santa at California Adventure for the last three years now. I think it was on our card two years ago. This is a picture from Wednesday evening. It's amazing how we only took three shots and we had one with EVERYONE looking at the camera. Jessica rarely flashes her beauty queen smile - and there it is. YEAH!!!

I purchased a digital scrapbook kit to have coordinating papers & elements from HERE. This is what I came up with. If you haven't received yours in the mail, check your e-mail and then send me your updated mailing address :)
