Christmas Cards

It is that time of the year again, CHRISTMAS! My dear friend Sarah has already been celebrating in her decorated house for a month and is making me feel behind! I haven't decorated my house or gotten a tree but I am starting to plan my Christmas cards! I LOVE everything about Christmas Cards. I love picking out and editing my pictures. I love spending hours finding the perfect card. I love thinking of and praying for each family as I address them. The only thing I don' t love about them is licking the envelope. Anyone want to take over that role?

This year I am planning on using Shutterfly for our family card. They have so many options, you can pick their cardstock option for a custom feel and they are so affordable! There are so many adorable ones I am not sure which one to choose. Here is a preview of some of my favorites.

Aren't they amazing?!?!? Now, which one will I choose? You 'll have to look in the mail to find out!

Halloween 2010

This year was so fun! It was Evalyn's first Halloween and she was all smiles. Beckham LOVED going to trick or treat at our neighbor's house. He said "or treat" at each house, admired and hugged their pumpkins and tried to go into their houses. We went to a few houses and he said more and giggled. We came home and he ran to the door and said hi to each trick or treater while he ate his suckers. It was such a great day and the kids looked adorable!

One of my favorite things about being a mom is that I get to see things through the eyes of my kids. I believe that this is the way God wants us to view life. Beckham feels everything so much... excitement, joy, frustration, love. At the slightest bit of attention Evalyn smiles. She loves when Beckham looks at her and showers her with kisses. God created little girls to be that way. To want to be delighted in with love and attention, what a blessing I get to be the one who does it!

What are your kids teaching you about God today?
