Christmas Card Photos

Every year in mid October I start to stress out over our Christmas card photos.  We receive dozens of beautiful cards during the holidays.  Some are handmade with photos and beautiful ribbons and bits of colorful papers.  Others are custom made and then there are those of the Hallmark variety.  All are treasured as we look forward to them every year.  I always feel such pressure to have our cards be creative, fun, and fresh from year to year.  It can be exhausting!  We were fortunate this year to have my cousin Nate, who happens to be a fabulous photographer, take our family photos for our annual cards.  Thanksgiving day we stuffed our turkey in the oven and drove down to the beach to enjoy the 77 degree weather.  It was gorgeous!  Here's a sneak peek of our day.

Not sure what Fritz (aka Bailey) is trying to express with his face in this one.

We thought we'd try for that cool *celebrity* look with the sunglasses...meh.

I think I'll have this one framed!

And finally, a winner (even if my hair looks like crap...I'm taking one for the team!)!
