Christmas Cards

Every year I get all excited about doing Christmas cards. I've even thought about writing one of those "update" letters to go with the card. But...well...it is hard to write one of those letters when our family is all over the place. So it is what it is. In years past...sometimes the cards have been created and mailed and sometimes not. Things happen.

The year after Lola was born I had a new "family" feeling. Our mix and match family was coming together. So I really enjoyed making the cards that year. The next year Lola was so sick we could barely figure out which was up. Christmas cards? Forgetabout it!

The next year...well...I think I was still in a daze and exhausted and really didnt' even think about it till it was too late. Perhaps I should have done some New Years Cards =)

THIS YEAR!!! I'm doing it! and with a little help from Shutterfly I can even do it within our measly little budget. Hello Christmas Cards!!!

I've even thought about doing something fun for the family...I LOVE calendars. Not sure why so much...but I do. I would have one in every single room. For a few years, my grandpa would gather pictures of all the grandkids and great grandkids and make a calender including everyone's birthdays. I think that may have gotten to be quite the project since there are only like 800 of us! But maybe I'll try something like that one day. A calendar with pictures of all of us?! Too Cute!!

And who knows...maybe I'll get organized enough this year to make some cute birthday cards to mail out for the kids.

This is going to be one incredible Christmas!!!
