It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

It really is my favorite time of year. I love Christmas…really everything about it, decorating, buying, wrapping and giving gifts, cooking and being with family and friends. But one thing I do not love is Christmas cards. Now don’t get me wrong I love getting each of yours, I just don’t love to send them for some reason. So I used to send Valentine’s Day cards instead. But then I sort of got sick of that as well. I swore to myself when I was married I would send Christmas cards, well guess what this is my third married Christmas and guess how many Christmas cards I have sent – ZERO in three years! Now every year I have had an excuse. Our first year we had just gotten married and I figured people were sick of us. Our second Christmas we had just bought a new house and were in the middle of a major remodel, plus I just knew I would be sending out “we’ve moved” announcements (which I never did)! Now this year I thought for sure I could get out of it because, if you didn’t know I am 7 weeks from having a baby and NOTHING is ready for her, but that is another post in itself. Anyway, last week B says we are sending out Christmas cards right? My response…of course! So Shutterfly to the rescue!

I went to the Shutterfly website to see what my options are for Christmas cards and I was so excited by all the options. In fact I am thinking I will use this one for this year and maybe this one for next year when Baby Adelyn is here. So much of my thinking is already focused on when she is here, and so I started to think that these will be great grandparent gifts next year

So be on the lookout for the first Christmas card from our family to yours!
