Oh The Weather Outside is..

...not even close to frightful, but it feels that way to me. The weather this past month in PA is the equivalent of Phoenix weather in November/December, and it is messing with my mind! Now that Halloween is over I can admit that I've been thinking about Christmas for the last month. For at least three weeks I've been wanting to play holiday music while driving in the car {and I did for about a day}. And I've already started searching for the perfect family Christmas card.

Now, if you've been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that I am very long winded and I love to post lots of pictures. The Christmas cards I lust over are very much like that. There must be more than one space for pictures, and there must be some space for a nice long message whether printed or hand written. Each year around this time I start out searching my favorite online photo site, Shutterfly, for the cutest designs. It seems like every year the selection gets bigger and bigger, and my decision to narrow down to just one gets harder and harder. Here are some of my favorites from this year's collection of holiday photo cards.





Of course, it's always nice to have coordinating address labels for the envelopes too. Now I just need to get the photos from our photo shoot a few weeks ago so I can put in an order! I can't wait for the holidays this year. Christmas with a 2 year old is going to be exhausting stressful messy incredibly fun!
