Getting into the Christmas spirit

I realize that it isn't even Thanksgiving yet, but here I am to talk about Christmas. Every year since Scott and I got married we have sent a Christmas Letter. I love writing our Christmas letter. We try to be a little different than the average, so I write a poem every year instead of the traditional letter. It is hard sometimes but fun, and as we keep having kids it gets harder to keep it short, but we still love to do it. Most of the time we send it with a little picture, sometimes not. Last year was a disaster. I tried so hard to get a picture of my cute kids that looked Christmas-y, and I failed miserably. No one would smile at the same time, and there was lots of pushing and shoving. I had lots of cute pics from throughout the rest of the year, but I wanted it to look like Christmas, something I thought I wouldn't be able to achieve with a pic of my kiddos standing at the beach in their bathing suits.

This year I have discovered the solution. Shutterfly! You can use any picture you want and it is put on a super cute background that looks Christmas-y! My kids can be at the beach and it still looks like a Christmas picture! How cool is that?! The cool thing about Shutterfly is that they are giving me 50 free holiday cards just for blogging about it, when I would have done it for free! And do you want to know the very coolest thing? I found the perfect one to go with the Christmas Letter paper I picked out months ago! It was a hard choice because I like so many, including this one and this one. I'm going to have the cutest Christmas Letter/picture combo around!
