Spreading Christmas Cheer with Shutterfly

I'm about to admit to something that most of my friends think is sinful: I've never sent out Christmas cards.

I know, I know - it's an obligation when you have a beautiful family to share them so that friends and family can hang them on mantles, refrigerators, trees or just oooh and ahhh and throw them in the trash. Who knows, some people may hang them and throw darts at them. I guess it depends on the audience.

Anyway, between birthdays and Christmas and 8,000,256 gifts to buy and 3,734 family members and friends to visit during the Holidays, it just gets to be a little bit of a hassle and an expense to do the whole Christmas card thing. BUT... (drum roll)... Shutterfly has saved the day with their 2010 Holiday Card Blog giveaway! So, now I can afford both the money (none!) and the tiny bit of time it takes to make and order cards on Shutterfly.

So, I think that you should both check out the promotion (just take a look at these adorable cards), and also look at their great gift ideas like calendars!

If you've already ordered your Christmas cards (those of you who actually think ahead!), go ahead and browse the site anyway for things like birthday invitations.

I had such a hard time choosing the cards that I liked best, but I think these three are my favorites (there were so many great ones, but I was trying to choose the ones I thought would look good with the pictures that we were able to take):





I'm leaning most toward the middle card. I think it's just so pretty! These are the pictures (out of about 100 million that we took) that I was able to salvage from our little home portrait session:
This one was actually one of my favorites... until I looked and realized that Trent was "throwing the deuces". My little gangsta.


Again, I loved this one, and then there was Trent who was constantly asking if it was over yet..

Trent was acting right this time, but Ronnie looks less than enthused.






Yay! It's Christmas time!!
