Christmas Cards are Stressful!!!

Until the little piggy was born, I thought nothing of Christmas cards. Never sent them and didn't expect to start. Well, as many of you know, sending Christmas cards when you have children is expected. Not only is it expected, it's also required by many. Around Thanksgiving, people start asking if you're going to send cards. It's their way of saying, "don't forget to send me a picture". Since we sent ours so late this year, we actually got a few inquiries as to the status of our Christmas cards. Well, for those of you who were wondering why it took so long, I blame the delay on the fact that I had so many great options this year and chouldn't choose.

First there was this one of the little piggy and her cousins...

We thought the screaming, nose picking and blank stare weren't exactly what everyone would be looking for in "the" Christmas card. So, we then started taking pictures of the little piggy in front of the tree and in various positions. That didn't work. Don't have any to share as they all were deleted in frustration.

Then the little piggy's teacher sent us this one that was so great...



Yea, again, not something to share with the family/friends for the a happy holiday's message. At least it was funny. Finally we got a picture of her in front of the tree hugging her bear. Well, you'll see it as we sent them out very late this year (on December 26th). I signed most of them "better late than never" in the hopes that someone would find that funny.

Merry Christmas Everyone!! Have a Happy New Year!

BTW, New Years Eve is at my parents. We're having a pizza party (make your own pizza and stuff). Come join us if you're not doing anything. It's sure to be a lot of fun.
