So any of you that have a 3 year old know that it’s nearly impossible to get a good picture these days. Seriously. It’s. Hard. Work. We missed our Santa pictures that I could use on Christmas cards in October when we had the flu. We had family pictures taken a few weeks ago, and I while we got some really good pictures of Hudson {who doesn’t move at this point,} I wasn’t crazy about any of our family pictures. I was hoping to get some pictures of Landree when we were at the mall visiting Santa. Here are the two that made our card (I wish the lights on the tree in her picture looked like they do in Hudson’s pic-that’s called bokeh for all you non photography peeps. I read that somewhere):

Spoiler alert:

I haven’t sent out my cards yet, but here is a peek at the final product. I’m just hoping to send them out before the 25th. Where has the time gone? I designed these cards using all the ideas I got from the Christmas Card Carousal. There were some fabulous cards! Merry Christmas!
