After way too much thought about what to do for our holiday card this year, I decided to put the kids in some "nice" clothes and take them to an old barn I found one day while running by our old house to take some pictures. I'm pretty happy with the results. There is even a little plaid/dark denim theme going on. With all the pressure to have a really great holiday card out there and the fancier/more expensive they get each year, sometimes we need to take a step back and remember the purpose of sending holiday cards which are in my opinion:
1. to let loved ones know we're thinking of them even when we can't be together for the holidays by sending a little cheer.
2. document your family at the end of the year and update those you love on how your family fared the year.
Ours were pretty in-expensive as we took the photos ourselves and had them printed through Peartree Greetings. I chose the simplest DYI photo card and added a simple "Merry Christmas" on the back.
I can't believe how much these two have grown since last year.
Happy Holidays!
