2010 Christmas Card

The ____ Family
2010
Our name & date was at the bottom of the card,
but I had that cropped out when it was scanned.

I've gotta agree with everyone else on the Walk With Me by Faith Christmas Card Carousel. Sending and receiving Christmas cards is one of my MOST favorite things of the season. I look forward to it ALL year long!

The end result this year isn't quite as fabulous as I'd hoped. Although I AM having a pretty good hair day. ;-) Want me to let you in on my little secret? I ALWAYS schedule our family Christmas photo on the same day that I get my hair cut. I can NEVER make it look 1/2 as good as she does ... so long, long ago when I had 2 toddlers, I came up with the whole idea. When they were babies, this one thing took a huge amount of stress out of the ordeal. Prior to that, you'd be hard pressed to find me in ANY family portrait! At least now I'm documented once/year.

The look of the card is a little cluttered for me. Would have preferred a solid background on the boys' close-up photos, but alas - none of them turned out. Oh well, there's a whole 11 months to obsess and think about how to improve upon next year's card (... and I will ... just you believe me!)

Travel Trailer just turned 14 years old and now is taller than me and almost taller than his dad. Pop-Up is now 12.5 and wondering daily when HIS growth spurt is going to hit. He's getting there - just not fast enough for him!

I hope you all have a joyous Christmas and a blessed New Year!
