CHRISTMAS CARDS

One thing I am going to miss about December is all of the cards we get in the mail...unfortunately now it is just junk mail and bills. I love, love LOVE Christmas cards. This year we were sent so many and our door was over flowing. I don't know if it is because a lot of people get them printed at Costco and they are a little bigger, or what... but we LOVED them. Thanks to all our friends and family that sent us cards this year. Those that didn't...hopefully we will be on your mailing list next year :)
Mike just set up our new scanner so I decided to go through all our Christmas cards we have sent out since having kids. It has been fun looking at the changes in our family.

"1996""1997"
Love our hair...and the fake fireplace at JCPennys...AWESOME.
"1998"
This year we sent out a birth announcement for Jake since he was born on November 19th.
"1999"
"2000"
Another convenient year for a birth announcement since Will was born on November 27th."2001""2002""2003"
This year we had Rachel draw the cover and the inside of the card. I forgot how cute it was...I think I might need Sadie to do something like that...maybe next year.Love the "comma" after the "e"...so CUTE."2004"
"2005""2006""2007"
This was the only year I couldn't find. I looked up our account at Shutterfly and it was still in our file. I had to take a picture of our card on the computer... I am so glad it was still there. "2008""2009"Here's to MANY more years of CHRISTMAS cards to come!!!
