Christmas Cards

A few years ago, Jed and I sent out our first Christmas card. We were so darlin' in our cute little nicely prepared outfits. THEN we took a few years off, and I was too lazy or busy to actually order Christmas cards. Now we have a baby, and you know what that means....we HAVE to send out a card. It's like the innate Christmas rule. People are supposed to disown people who are in their family, have children, and don't send out a Christmas card.

I have a few friends who are obsessed with Shutterfly. They love their prints, the gifts they create are sa-weet, and it is all pretty inexpensive. And now I am so excited about the new promotion that Shutterfly is running. In exchange for a blog post, I get 50 free Christmas cards. The best part? The Christmas cards are some of the cutest I've ever seen. Seriously, I have no idea how I'll decide!

I love the idea of having our family picture PLUS little pics of Braden.

Buuuuuut I also love the more funky square ones.


Oooooor I could go with the classic family shot on gorgeous card??

I dunno. Honestly, I still haven't even looked at half of the options because the first half was so overwhelming!

And speaking of Christmas, Shutterfly also has some amazing options for cool Christmas presents:

1. Thank you cards
2. Calendars
3. Photo Wall Art

OK...so maybe I'm a little excited. But what can I say?? It's all really cute. And since we just had a baby, all of our family members want photo gifts for Christmas. And can you blame them? Just look at him!

Welp. Merry Christmas!! Now off to actually TAKE a picture to put on this card!!

I LOVE square cards! Although, FYI- they usually require extra postage to mail.

OH MY GOSH, your child is adorable! I personally don't really like the idea of putting my face on a Christmas card (especially with my newly acquired "tired-mommy" eyes). BUT... I love it when I get family greeting cards with a picture of everybody.

My two cents... :-)
