Hope you are having a great Christmas Eve!!
Excited to share our Christmas card for this year!
I wanted to wait to post till everyone got them in the mail. :)
I created all of these designs in Photoshop…
Printed the year in review card and video blurb card at home..
and then printed the 3 photo prints at target! (150 cards for $22.. not bad at all!)
I was determined to get cards out…
But the only way I was able to get a shot of all 3 with Micah
so little, was to lay them on the floor and stand above on a chair haha.
My mom was there making faces and arranging for me…
I should post the outtake photos……ridiculous. ;)
The newborn photos of Micah were taken the week before.
I blogged about getting those shots at home here
I knew that a whole family photo just wasn’t going to happen.
So I made up a little card with a photo of ben and I…
and a message for our friends and family to visit my blog Christmas Night
for a video message! I added in a QR Code for people with that app to
be able to scan with their iPhones and go directly to the post! :)
I couldn’t resist….we had a newborn! ;)
Sophie loved being Mary… I first had her in a blue sheet and
she told me no no mom…white. Sienna thought her halo
(‘dollar’ bin area from joanns) was so silly…but quickly turned non angelic.
I didn’t have wings..so…we photoshopped some in!
I hung up a sheet, wrapped Micah in my scarf and used an old
IKEA rug in the girls’ baby doll crib…
boom. nativity scene.
Sweet micah didn’t make a peep.
He was getting into the Jesus role very well.
I made up a little year in review card!
I had seen the idea on Pinterest and ran with it!
My favorite part is the girls’ favorite foods. That was the order they told me..
It’s funny they said cheese roll ups.. because plenty of people probably
had no clue what that was since it’s kid language. haha.
(tortilla..with cheese.. rolled up.. :)
We included a Birth Announcement in the envelopes going out!
I can’t get enough of this sweetie. :)
