This is the time when we receive a lot of cards from our friends and family. I look forward to this time of the year when all of my friends send out their cards (well, picture cards) to me. In today's world, receiving an actual card feels a bit "funny". I learned to "expect" some kind of picture cards from Shutterfly or Snapfish or whatever equivalent to that. It is always fun to see what my friends or their kids look like, especially since we don't have time to get together as much as I would like. One thing that I always question is why do most parents send out cards with only their children? Yes, children are a huge part of their lives, but I also would love to see what my friends look like too! Is it because once we become parents, our lives are dedicated to our kids only? Is it because we don't like to be in pictures anymore?
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about receiving kids-only cards, just that I would be even happier if I receive a card from my friends that have THEM on it too!
Every year, we also send out picture cards to our friends and family. I usually like to do them myself in Photoshop so they are a bit more unique. What I make sure is that we have a picture of us in it so our friends and family can see how much older we are :)
Here is our holiday card for 2007:

great card -- individual pics of the kids and a family shot!
Sorry dude - this year you're gonna get a picture of just Dylan. Maybe next year you'll be lucky enough to see me and Mike too =)
Haha! I echo that! Why do parents only send x'mas card of their kids?! At least put yourself in the background and not disappear from the card entirely! You are going to get one card of my whole family! Not just Damon!
Hi Augie...how are you?
I guess my card will be an exception with no kids on >.< haha...
Anyway...Happy Holidays to you and your family!
