Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A few weeks back, I sat my little family down and we finally got our Christmas card photos knocked out.

I was so proud of how well the girls behaved but in true toddler fashion, little Lilly was a wiggle worm and her sweet sister did her very best to contain her, and that made for some pretty cute outtakes!

And for some adorable shots of momentary peace while the little ones studied the star-shaped lights in wonder.

And for a solid contender for the coveted spot on our family Christmas card despite me obviously looking like I had just ran from the camera to my spot…

And in the end, deciding that the photo we would use for our 2018 family Christmas card was in fact, the very first one we took!

I made our cards through Minted and I love how beautifully they turned out! The card is high quality, thick cardstock and the printing was done in beautiful rose gold foil and dark gray on the bottom. 

Receiving handwritten letters is one of my favorite things – it’s the next best thing to a hug from someone long distance – so I wanted to do that for our friends and family. Something about knowing the sender took the time to handwrite their message makes me feel so valued! Though I had a good number of greetings to write, I loved every heartwarming minute of it. What a blessing to know we have so many people we hold dear!

From my family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and the most Happy New Year!
