The Christmas Card

Every year, I look forward to Christmas cards from our dear family and friends. I especially love the picture cards so I can see the little ones grow throughout the years. I stressed over our first Christmas card with Mason and thought I would blog about the oh so fun experience since they have (finally) been mailed.

I really wanted to get that perfect family picture. Unfortunately, finding a photo-op when all 3 of us are nicely dressed, Mason is in a good mood AND we have someone to take a picture doesn't happen very often. We did get these great pictures 2 days after my deadline for ordering the card. Oh well...


So then I decided to try to get a good shot of Mason with the pets. You can see how well that turned out (Beau cat wanted nothing to do with it).

About 5,000 pictures later (what did people do before digital cameras?), I finally got a few cute Christmas-y shots of Mason. And he really liked Santa, so we used one from our visit with him. The finished product:

And it didn't help that Walgreen's messed up round 1... now I know better and will stick with Shutterfly for all of my photo needs. And, no, I missed their free card blogging promo, but I will still mention them since I was impressed with their quality and service! I can't imagine how difficult it is with multiple children!
