One thing I LOVE about the Christmas season is Christmas Cards! We love receiving them in the mail, seeing all the pictures and reading the letters about the year from our friends and families! As I've gotten older, less and less people write letters and send Christmas cards, I fell like it's becoming a lost art (if you'd call it art)! There's always the excuse about cards being too expensive or I don't have time...we send out a couple hundred Christmas cards every year so I know the amount of money, time and energy it is to do them, but it is so worth it! I encourage you if you are on the fence about Christmas Cards-whether or not to do them-go ahead, forge ahead and send them!
As soon as the fall season is upon us I look for opportunities for a Christmas card picture, with 4 kiddos you never know! I always order my cards months in advance, so I have time to work on them and you get such great deals ordering them so far out :) This year I've had them since October and started addressing them in November, and no they have not yet been mailed! Now there are "those" critics that say "who cares about Sally, Bob & Pete, how old they are and all their accomplishments", but I want to know how people are doing, what has been going on in their lives and what's in store for their future! There was a year a few years ago I decided not to do a Christmas letter and boy we heard it! So many people said they enjoyed the picture but they didn't get a letter or we must have forgotten to put one in the envelope?! This year I'm doing something a little different, so we'll see how it goes! Until then, we're expecting to receive a Christmas Card from everyone reading this blog! Just kidding, however we would LOVE to receive one from you to see how you are doing and what 2010 has brought you and your family!!! I thought you would enjoy a few Christmas Pictures from our past, I couldn't find the one from 2003, the year Emma was born, if I find it I'll post it :)

I love getting Christmas cards too! I just finally got ours done and mailed yesterday so it should be arriving in your mailbox soon:) And I did a combo pic/newsletter in a folded card this year, and was pleased with how it turned out.
