Christmas Cards . . .

This time of year is a little stressful - why? - of course, trying to get the best picture for a Christmas card. It was certainly easier when we just had to have the cats pose . . . but since Connor arrived we have eliminated the cats from the photo (my mom is thrilled). I have this really nice, new camera and I still can't manage to come up with the perfect photo . . . well time is ticking and Shutterfly is baiting me to order soon (with discounts) so I tried again today to capture a few more photos. It will be hard to top last year's card (as many, many people have mentioned) so the pressure was on. Well, I just placed the order so I suppose the pressure is now off . . . or at least the pressure is over. I must say I like the new card but I don't think it beats last year's card. The main reason is that I don't think the card selections were as good this year. . . I thought about having one specially made . . . but then I thought, this has to be over - I have to order the cards. We are travelling this month and I can't deal with having this as an outstanding project any longer. I'm not going to show off the photo(s) that made it into the card, but I will share one that didn't make it (although it was MY favorite).

MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL!!!!

Oh, and our house is now officially decorated! Thanks to Colin and my parents who helped us decorate/ take care of Connor who can't go outside due to his ear infection - which is still keeping him up at night - despite the ear drops! Just hope he gets better soon. Pictures of the house to follow this week.
