The Holiday’s are quickly approaching. Yes…holiday music and the Charlie Brown Christmas CD has, indeed, been playing in our home since before Thanksgiving. We send out an annual Christmas Photo card every year and I usually just have my mom take a photo of us at Thanksgiving. I love sending out a Christmas Photo card because we have friends from Hawaii to NC and it just shows how much everyone has grown or changed from the last year. This year we did a little switch-a-roo with another family in taking Christmas Photos. Do you know how hard it is to get a decent picture of four people with BLUE eyes…looking at the camera and smiling…somewhat? We had to take a plethora of photos just to get a few decent shots! Here are a few of the photos that my friend took.
I love this one…if you have more than one photo you’d like to show. Or if your dog is too crazy to come to your Christmas Photo shoot…because she will run away at the first chance she gets. Just insert dog photo anywhere.
I am the designated Christmas letter writer for our family…but…this year, I’m not writing it. AND then, lo and behold, I saw these Christmas cards on Shutterfly. One is a top ten of the year and on the other you can write a little letter saying what you and your family were up to this year. Simple and sweet!
I adore the simplicity of this card. And you know how I love a monogram.
I’ve used Shutterfly to make Photo Books for grandparents for Christmas! BEST present EVER! I’m not even kidding. One year, I did a “A Year in the Life of The {insert last name}” They loved it! I was the Queen of gift giving! I will definitely be doing some this year! I call it “The Lazy Girl’s Way to Scrapbook!” Go check out the Lazy way to scrapbook and make your own photo book! And order some Christmas cards while you’re at it!
Beautiful family, beautiful photo's. I love the one with the two girls hugging. I have got to check out shutterfly. My son did a book for his girlfriend for Valentines. What a great way to preserve memories.
Love your photos and your cards!
I love those pics!!! I think I may know who took them…Is it the girl whose b-day lasts for a full 7 days?? They are adorable. And, yes, Shutterfly is the BEST!!
Thank-you for inspiring me with the most wonderful of Christmas ideas! Love it!!! 🙂
