It's that time again....

Christmas card photos! You maybe saying, "in mid August?" Well, it really is just around the corner. Just go to your nearest Michaels... they've skipped over Halloween and Thanksgiving, heck Labor day and went straight to the most wonderful time of the year. So are you ready? For what? (you may ask) Taking your photos of course! Take them... so it can hang on someone's wall or refrigerator or mantel. It will spread Christmas cheer, so do it right.

How do I personally show off my cards? I use twine and clothes pins to clip them on (thank you Ashlee for this idea), but the ones that I always keep are the ones that show the family at its truest (is that a word?)

To begin, here is what NOT to do...
Oh no. the classic "Olin Mills" or "Sears" or "Wal-mart" photo. Come on you and your family deserve to be represented better than this!
Oh goodness. No. No. No. The cat in the hat, a maybe... wait, what the heck am I talking about. This is just wrong.
Wow. That's all I have to say.
Even "famous people" (and I use that term loosely) make the wrong choices when it comes to the family photo. 

So why don't you make the right choice...
show everyone how much your kids (and of course you and your hubby) really do love each other


show them your love for one another is even stronger than ever


show them that even with a newborn, you still are madly and deeply in love with all of it


show them what's coming soon in 2012

or what's already arrived in 2011

just show off your kids... that will be enough to make everyone say "ahhhh"

or if you don't have kids, show them off with your furry children

show them how excited you are for 2012 (congrats to J and R on their engagement)

or just show them how beautiful, wonderful, and fulfilled your life is.... 

It's more than a Christmas card, it's you.
