It's Christmas Time Again!!!

Oh! How I love this time of year! I love all the hustle and bustle, I love shopping for the perfect gift for family and friends, I love decorating my house for the season and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE designing and sending out  Christmas cards!! This is our 6th married Christmas and every year I have used Shutterfly to design our cards. Not only do they have wonderful cards to choose from, but the shipping is super fast. I have never once been disappointed in our cards. In the past years I have always sent the flat photo cards because they are great quality at a fantastic price and we send lots of cards so I need a good price! BUT...this year I am really liking the flat stationary cards and think I may order some of these this time. The new holiday collection is just wonderful. There is so much to choose from - from elegant to funky! I love that! They are on cardstock rather than photo paper and just look great! I am also considering doing something for the first time this year and that is making a photo calendar. I have never attempted this, but would love to have it throughout the year and I think it will make a great gift for some special people in our family.

So....now I'm off to attempt taking that perfect photo for our card! Thank goodness their cards are so cute it will cover up any of my awful photography skills!!

See ya later Ali-GATOR!

Today was a BEEEEAUTIFUL day!! I am a huge fan of winter, but today left me wishing for Spring. Caleb loves to be outside so I think we have lots to look forward to as the weather gets warmer. Since the weather was so wonderful today we headed over to our friends' house (also named Chad and Kerri) so that Caleb could play for a while with their son, Drake. Caleb and Drake are exactly 1 month apart, with Drake being the elder! Today's highlight: The John Deer Gator. Oh boy did these kids have fun! Drake is quite the professional driver and Caleb had a blast being his sidekick while holding on for dear life. Check out his grip on those handles! :) These boys laughed so hard. Caleb's favorite part was when they would get stuck and the tires would spin. He would do one of those hard, can't-catch-your-breath laughs every single time. Both Chads and both Carrie/Kerri's had a great time watching the boys. We look forward to lots more playtimes with Drake. Here are a few more pics of their fun together:

 

  

 

I'm just sayin'.....

...that I am the worst blogger in blogland. Hopefully I will get better very soon.
