Today I’m linking up with Shay and Erika to take a look at our Christmas cards. Do you still get excited about receiving Christmas cards in the mail? I feel like social media has maybe taken a bit of the fun and surprise away, since we are able to stay connected with people so much more these days. Nevertheless, I still enjoy opening my mailbox and seeing cards in there and having them hanging in my home. Several years ago a friend of mine mentioned how, when Christmas is over, she prays for each family as she takes down their card. I loved this idea, and do it every year. Long story short, keep sending me your cards. ๐
And here’s a look at our cards from the past 12 years…
2008. Babies with a baby.
2009. Couldn’t find the card, but I remember this was the picture we used for it. Dull, lifeless background and all.
2010. Max in the house.
2011. Our outfits don’t exactly match the colors in the card. ๐ค
2012. I like this one.
2013. Grace was 4 days old in this picture. Our Christmas card doubled as a birth announcement. Two birds, one stone.
2014. Nothing too exciting that year.
2015. This pretty card doubled as a pregnancy announcement.
2016. All four kiddos. They’re so tiny. ๐ญ
2017. Still little. Still snuggly.
2018. Tessa’s first pictures where she was able to walk! I remember how excited my photographer (and good friend) and I were watching her walk all around.
2019. When we were blissfully unaware of what 2020 would bring.

I love getting cards too! And loving all these throwbacks. Can’t wait to see yours this year ๐
