Anywho, one thing that is necessary to think of ahead of time is Christmas cards. Do you know I love Christmas cards. They are so fun to get. I love seeing the ones my parents get and thinking, oh, I remember when we played together when we were little kids and seeing how everyone "turned out." Some of the cards come from people I've never even met, but they are friends of my parents so we get a card every year, and you feel like you know them anyway. You remember their kids and remember their stories. I think its a sweet way to build simple relationships, even if its only once a year.
That being said, I've never actually sent out Christmas cards. I've always wanted to. But when it was just Chris and I, I always figured we were too boring, and our parents sent out cards that covered it. Last year, upon having Carly, I really wanted to, but the year got away from me before I managed to pull it off. So this year, this year is the year.
I'm excited because we are going to use Shutterfly this year. They have the cutest announcements, holiday cards, and all sorts of other photo products.
I am loving this design (click here). It just might make the cut as our very first family Christmas card. But this one (click here) just might be a close runner-up.

I vote the second one :) They are both darling, though. I am having Kyrsten make some for me. I have never sent them out either, but I have always loved getting them. Hopefully I can get them done and sent out on time!

Oh my goodness. It's like you read my mind. I have been stressing over this very thing. I want to do a picture christmas card so bad! But I have to have a decent christmasy picture first which is what is stressing me out. I like this calendar as gifts idea. thanks for the tip!
