So, in 2008 we were not going to send anything at all. Again, no cute kids to speak of and we had always mocked those who sent cards without kids. I mean seriously, what are we looking at? How you have changed your hair since last year? However, that was the year of the huge snowstorm. We were snowed in and stranded for about three days, but really life was not normal for about two weeks. When the snow first started, we ran outside, asked a random guy putting chains on his car to take a picture, and got this gem in one shot!
So, in the middle of the snowstorm, we ordered cards from shutterfly and overnighted them. We then had the genius plan to write a letter from Wilson's perspective and send it with the card. We sent the photocard with the letter and were mocked mercilessly for the letter and got raves about how cute the picture was.
2009: We are now pregnant and busier than we have ever been. We now own a house, work full time in very demanding careers, and are trying to have a social life before little baby gets here! We decided to send the letter from Wilson, but not a picture. We literally got emails and notes on Christmas cards asking where the photocard was. People were ticked!
So, for this year, we will not make that mistake again. We have scheduled our pictures with our photographer and are determined to get a Christmas-card-worth pic. We will certainly be ordering our cards from shutterfly. I find their products to be the BEST and their customer service cannot be beat. They are giving me free cards for blogging about them, but I think I would rave about them even if they didn't!
Since we don't have a picture yet I haven't picked which cards I want, but I have looked! You can see their holiday cards here.
Here are some of my favorites!
