One of my favorite things about Christmas is going to the mailbox every afternoon and getting those Christmas cards. It is so much fun. Every year I enjoy making our Christmas card. I finally finished ours last weekend and mailed them. I like to do "theme" cards, so we did a "night before Christmas" card. I put the kids in their matching Christmas pajamas and had McKenzie read Matt a bedtime story in her bed. Boy, was that stressful. At one point Matt was on the floor kicking and screaming. It took a couple of nights to get a decent shot. You know those two year olds want to do things their way! McKenzie was so disgusted with him. We finally got it, though.
A couple of years ago I was trying to think of a way to display all the photo cards and be able to look at them. So, I decided to hang a garland around the door leading into the Christmas tree room. I punched a hole in each card, then tied each one onto the garland with a piece of ribbon. I love it! It looks very festive. I need more garland because I am running out of room.
Each year I take our card to Neblett's and have them frame it. Then I hang it with the other photo cards in the kids' playroom.We started this tradition McKenzie's first Christmas.
