Christmas Cards

I cannot believe we sent out our 6th annual Christmas/Holiday card this year. I’m feeling old. Also, as I’m turning 27 in 2011 I’ve realized how close I’m getting to 30! In a way, I’m excited to get to 30. Don’t you think when you get married and start your life young, you kind of skip what most people experience as their 20s? All the partying, slowly going through school, bumming around, etc? Hooray for young, productive people.

Here’s a little walk down our Christmas Card memory lane. We used to do letters and can’t remember why we stopped. I think we’ll need to start doing it again, especially once we have two kids.

Christmas Letter Picture Final (option2)Christmas letter 2005 copy

Looking at these pictures makes me realize: a) how young we looked when we got married, b) how much better cards look when you design them online, and c) how we’ve seemed to add a little weight each year. Sigh.

I know nothing about post marriage weight gain. Nothing.

I am in the 'you get better looking every year' camp.

I love your card you put together this year. I think the pattern is amazing, and I loved your write up on everyone. And yes, you're gorgeous.

I agree- you look better each year. I love that I have all these Christmas cards, too. Best friends? Yes.
