our cards

Christmas cards, to me, are the best kind of good mail that you get. I especially love that they come in droves and by the time Christmas day rolls around my front door is plastered with them! There are only a few up there today, I'll be sure to post at the end of December because it's a sight that makes me just SO happy! I always like to get my cards out early, mainly because I LOVE sending them out (the good mailer in me) and also, they always feel like a huge load off of my shoulders once they're done. So I got them mailed out early last week and decided I could finally post how they turned out on my blog because it won't ruine the surprise of anyone getting them in their mailbox. I also mailed out a simplified version of our normally novel long family letter, and LOVED it, especially because I also mailed out my blog address (to most people) and decided if they really wanted details, they can check them out here! :) So here goes, our cute cards, family picture thanks to Kayleen Feil, my cute friend who agreed to trade me for family photos since they just weren't in the budget this year! :)

Merry Christmas to all of you, our friends and family!

Of course, after I sent it I felt bad that I didn't include about our award winning photographs this year, but you can read about it here if you missed it the first time. :) Merry Christmas
