holiday card history

Holiday lunching with my team at work this week talking about holiday cards and if/when they will start send them out {as most are less than a few years out of college}.  Funny, for me it has been so long I completely forgot what prompted me  to begin mailing them out.  As I was hanging up cards today and going through a box of ones I saved, I found all of our past cards!  Each one has a story, and it all started back in 2007 when Scott and I were engaged!  Not much has changed as all but one card is either us photographing our kids or using a self timer (even back in 2007)!

2007 {our first stab at a self camera timer on our little canon rebel as well as my first try at a circle cutter} 

2008 { given our wedding was just 1 month prior to Christmas send a thank you and holiday wish together }

2010 { skipped 2009, but came back with a sweet picture of Kyleigh at just 3 months old }

2011 { this is the year my love for snow pictures began, every year I hope for a snow early enough for our holiday card, but it has not happened since }

2012 { two memories from this card, it is the only one we didn't do our own pictures but used a photographer, and secondly it is also the same day I went to the doctor hours before and found out we were having twins! }

2013 { the boys card debut they were 7 months old and looking adorable in their PJs, this was also the first Christmas in our new home }

2014 { our first trip to the Chicago Beaches and definitley not our last, I also think it was the boys first time in the sand, they loved it }

2015 { another self timer picture with our matching pjs .....we sure were laughing and the outtakes were the best! }

2016 coming soon!
