Merry Christmas from Us!

December 22, 2016

Happy almost Christmas, friends! #threemoresleeps! I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your support, friendship, and clever comments throughout the year. I treasure each and every one of you, and am unbelievably grateful you take the time to visit my little corner of the internet. I’d love to send each of you a card, but dang stamps are expensive…so this will have to do.

(Family pics are from this post.)

We used Minted for our cards, and as always, were so impressed with their quality and service. I love using their ornament cards as gift tags…such a fun touch for the packages, but also a great keepsake for years to come.

I plan to soak in every moment of the break with these precious people, and I hope your holiday is full of love, merriment and magic! Merry Christmas, lovebugs!

P.S….Any procrastinators out there? Hope isn’t completely lost…Nordstrom has announced free shipping, guaranteed by Christmas Eve, on 100s of items if ordered by noon today!!

I dropped the ball on Christmas cards this year, but yours are so cute, I'm inspired to get on the ball for 2017. 🙂

Love your card!! Quick question!! Love dressing room diaries with your mom! I'm around the same age as your mom and have been trying to lose weight also. It is such a struggle! Would love to know what diet plan your mom used. Thanks!!

Happy almost Christmas, friends! #twomoresleeps! I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support, friendship, and clever comments throughout the year. I love this blogging community, and am so unbelievably grateful you choose to visit here. I’d love to send each of you a card, but dang stamps are expensive…so this will have to do.

I had big plans for a fun family Christmas card pic, but with the constant rain and our conflicting schedules, we just couldn’t make it happen. And since I realized I never sent change-of-address cards after we moved #oops, I needed to get our cards out early!

So I flipped through my favorite family posts of the year, and made it work with what I already had on hand.

{Trip Report} Anna Maria Island

{Family Date Night} Klyde Warren Park

I plan to soak in every moment of the break with these precious people, and I hope your holiday is full of love, merriment and magic! Merry Christmas, lovebugs!

Beautiful! I'm all done #nothinglastminute. I have a couple things to be delivered today, but done otherwise! Unfortunately as a home hospice nurse, my only day off is Christmas Day, so I don't get to hang with my kids during their break. Have a very Merry Christmas and fun break!!

Happy Christmas Eve, friends! I wanted to take a moment to thank you for
your support, friendship and clever comments throughout the year. I love this blogging community, and am so grateful you choose to visit here. I’d love to send each of you a card, but dang stamps are expensive…so here’s the next best thing.

We snapped these pictures over Thanksgiving break…obviously beaches and family make us a happy bunch! We used Minted for our cards, and as always, were so impressed with their quality and service.

Merry Christmas from Us!

December 23, 2013

I don’t know if I’m more excited for Christmas, and seeing my kid’s
faces when they discover Santa’s goodies, or for the extended holiday
break! Having the kids home from school, free of all scheduled
activities, and me off work, is my very favorite time of the year. I am
so blessed to have this flexibility, and treasure every second of it.

Last month the fabulously talented Kelli Trontel was in town, and we were fortunate enough to snag a mini-session with her. It rained all day, but we weren’t about to miss the chance to be on the other end of her lens. Especially since we haven’t had family photos done in 5 years! We are just thrilled with how they came out, and are so grateful to have this season captured.

All photos by Kelli Trontel

Can you believe she captured these (and tons more, but since we don’t share DNA, I didn’t think you’d want to see them all) in just 30 minutes?! Usually I’m lucky to have one good picture for Christmas cards, but this year we could hardly choose. Thank you, Kelli!!!

If
I could, I’d send each one of you a Christmas card, thanking you for
your support, friendship and clever comments….but have you seen the
price of stamps lately?!?! So instead, here’s the next best thing…

We used Minted this year for our cards, and I was so impressed with their selection, creativity, quality and service, that I’m a fan and customer for life! Our packages got a lot cuter this year with their ornament cards and tags, too.

I
plan to soak in every moment with these precious people, and I hope
your holiday is full of love, merriment and magic! Merry Christmas,
lovebugs!
