Good Tidings We Bring...

...to you and your kin...

...we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

*Two variations of our Christmas card this year. One with Andrew's prayer flag, and one with his ornament this year. We couldn't decide which one we liked better, so two were made. Mostly sent to family this year, but know that we hope your holidays are wonderful as well.

If you're missing a loved one this year, please know that you are not alone. We honor those family members with you and will be lighting a candle in honor of all those we're missing this holiday season.

Christmas Card Dilemma

While it's not a huge dilemma... it's one I've thought about. Do we send out Christmas cards this year being 9+ months pregnant with our baby? Do we wait until he arrives and be fashionably late with a cutesy photo of him to adorn a photo card? Do we send regular cards... or try Shutterfly for the very first time?

While still deliberating, we're considering a Christmas card/birth announcement that we'll order post-delivery so our little guy can be shown to the world. It may turn into a sort-of "New Years" card rather than a Christmas card, but that might be fun. Are birth announcements a thing of the past? In this digital age, it does make me wonder...

I was searching through Shutterfly's website and saw this gorgeous one that I loved...

Of course it wouldn't hurt if Shutterfly wanted to gift us with some freebie cards either. I heard through my friend Alli that they will be giving away 50 freebie cards to some bloggers-- now if we're chosen, we'll be under obligation to pick out something fantastic and send away!
