Last year we didn’t get a Christmas letter written or a single card sent. I was newly pregnant and oh, so tired and nauseous, with in-laws in town. That was my excuse. There’s always an excuse though, isn’t there? Now I have a new baby and on top of that pink eye ravaged through our family these last couple of weeks so I couldn’t take a good Christmas picture for our card.
I faced those would-be excuses head on, went through our photos and found one of each kid that was cute, enlisted the help of my husband to make them fit right, and placed my order at Costco. The bummer– we didn’t notice Hunter’s name was misspelled until we had 100 HunDers in our hands. Oh well, done imperfectly is better that not done at all. Right?
Getting them out the door was a team effort. One big kid did address labels, another return addresses, and the third did stamps.
The little kids obviously couldn’t be left out, so they had stickers and envelopes of their own.
The littlest supervised while doing her favorite new activity– sucking her finger.
There were even a couple addressed to me
