Picture Preview
Recently we ventured out into the bitter cold to get some family pictures taken (thanks, Jamie and Cindy!) What an adventure! It was nearly impossible to get both kids to look good in the pictures at the same time! I have been trying to fiddle with a few of them here on our computer before printing them up.
These are not all of the ones I like, but here's a preview. I've been wanting to save these for Christmas, but they are just so darn cute that I HAD to post a couple right now. I guess I'll save the complete family photo for later, so the entire surprise won't be ruined.
(And don't worry, Grandmas and Grandpas, you might find a few of these wrapped up for you on Christmas morning...)
I honestly can't decide which photo of Maggie is cuter. Any votes?
Does this pose look familiar?

Cute Christmas Cards
In the past, we have been HORRIBLE about sending out Christmas cards! We have done printouts with a letter a couple of times (no pictures), and the past two years I think we just sent out a mass email with some pictures attached. However, this year I am going to turn over a new leaf by actually mailing out REAL Christmas cards through snail mail! After hearing how awesome Shutterfly.com is from a friend, I have decided to use them. I have spent some time browsing through pages and pages of Christmas card templates, and here are some of my favorites:
Here's one that I like because you can put the text of your Christmas letter on the front of the card, rather than having to print off copies and stuff it inside the card!
If you notice, I like the cards that allow you the option of putting multiple family pictures on the front. I'm also a big fan of cards that say "Merry Christmas," as opposed to "Happy Holidays" or "Holiday Greetings," although I do appreciate that Shutterfly recognizes that not everyone celebrates Christmas. There are so many options available!
By the way, if you are interested in using Shutterfly for your family's Christmas cards, here is a link to their Christmas card site. You can also make invitations to Christmas parties, or even invitations to New Year's parties. You should definitely check it out!
Right now Shutterfly is having a special where if you create a blog post similar to mine about their Christmas cards, you can receive 50 free Christmas cards! Click here to find out more information.
