One of my very favorite parts about the Christmas season is the excitement of getting Christmas cards.
I love adding each one to the wall and looking at all the people we love through out the month.
We keep our cards and love looking at them each year as we bring out all of our Christmas decorations.
I was just looking at all the photos the other day and really impressed with the hotness of my friends..seriously...you guys are a good looking bunch!
So, you might be surprised that as much as I love getting the cards...we didn't get cards out this year.
I have to admit to you that I don't stress over that kind of thing but with how much I LOVE getting cards I had to do something to make up for my lack of planning.
Just pretend that this came in the mail, print it out and add it to your wall of photos:-)
We had some friends that sent us a list of their favorites last year with their Christmas card.
I loved it so much I thought it would be fun to do our own.
I hope you are all enjoying your time leading up to Christmas.
I have eaten way too much cream cheese frosting this weekend.
Seriously...by the spoonful!
cute idea, jeannie :) i'm just getting my cards out this week. we set up an assembly line tonight to get them ready to send out...3 kids x 100+ cards, stamps, and envelopes was a little crazy, but we got em done fast! merry christmas!

Jean....sometimes it is stressful to have to do everything. I didn't send out cards one year and I hated it. I just couldn't do it. I ADORE getting cards...I LOVE putting them up....and YES I save them from each year. And YES...I have some hot friends....I'm posting to one today.....HERE!!! Merry Christmas!
XO~Hope

We are the worst at getting Christmas cards out. Although we always have high hopes, we just never manage to get any out :)

I love getting Christmas cards as so many are insanely creative. But I must admit I did not make or send out a card this year. Pathetic I know.

What a beautiful family! And, I love your list of favorites. About 15 years from now that list will probably make you cry. :) But, good tears!
Have a Wonderful & Blessed Christmas,

heeeheeehee love the favorite quote....my four year old son, jack, said something similar recently... he had spent the day hanging out with "the boys" and i asked him if it was fun....he said it was, but that he liked girls too "because they have nice booboobs"(our name for breasts)!!!
