what a card

So the Slacker Family Christmas card has been ordered. Another To-do checked off my list. Now, all I have to do is stalk the mailbox for the cards; stuff, address and stamp the cards; and get them mailed so they arrive before Christmas. Wow...when put that way, it doesn't appear that I'm in the home stretch on this one.

I thought it would be cute to go back and look at the cards of Christmas past. So here it goes!

2004

I loved this picture of E because she is smiling so big. It such a beautiful (despite being gummy and toothless) that you overlook the fact that it looks like she has no hair. Rest assured, she had a head full of black(!?!?!?) locks.

2005

This was the first snow of the season, and E was *psyched* to go play. I bundled her up in her winter clothes and out we went. I was able to get this shot because she didn't know how to walk in her snow boots yet...otherwise she would have been running at me! Just like in 2004, we were anti-hair for the card.

2006

I'm not going to lie...we actually didn't send out a Christmas card this year. With a newborn who really didn't sleep, a wild and crazy 2-year-old and an even crazier mama (aka, me), I never got around to sending one. But, this was the shot I planned on using. Isn't it funny how much curly, blond A *also* had black hair in the beginning?

2007

Last year, I built a shrine to the inventer of the collage Christmas card photo. I could not for the life of me get a decent picture of the girls together *and* smiling. So, I used a slightly dazed picture of the two of them on the front...and really cute individual pictures on the back.


 

2008

I tried to get a Christmas shot. I failed. So I settled for the best picture of the girls that I have ever taken in my life. It could have been worse.
