Christmas Cards
I love Christmas Cards! Anyone who has known me for a little while knows this about me. I love seeing everyone's families grow. I look forward to the cute pictures and fun letters. It's the one time of year I send out real mail.
I wanted to take a trip down memory lane and look back on my family's Christmas cards over the years.
Our first family Christmas Card. We announced our little Ephraim with a post-it note. It was an exciting year, our second Christmas as a married couple and our first as expectant parents.
Of course, the following year we had to show off our perfect little bundle of joy! Christmas cards are pretty easy with adorable babies :-)
The next year I started to get more creative. Inspired by Tiffany Feger (my sister-in-law and photographer at Fishy Face Photography) and her endlessly creative Christmas Cards, I decided to do a play on the classic "bubble-bath bubble-beard." These were so much fun! ( I still have the bottom left picture hanging in my bathroom.)
I went straight-on "pun-y" for the next year and tried a play on the word season.
-
1. each of the four divisions of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) marked by particular weather patterns and daylight hours, resulting from the earth's changing position with regard to the sun.
-
1. add salt, herbs, pepper, or other spices to (food)."season the soup to taste with salt and pepper"
The next year we expanded our family, so our card had double cuteness! My sweet boys were very loving and willing models for our "kiss-mas" card.
I'm currently working on this year's card, and pretty excited about it! Let us know some of your fun Christmas card ideas! And if you still need family photos done for your cards, please check us out! We have a Christmas Card Special going on, click here to learn more.
