Christmas Cards - Choosing them is a Sport!

A few weeks ago, we hired a photographer friend to take photos of our family. That task is a sport, in and of itself...dressing the kids, making sure no one gets messed up on the way to the photography location, making everyone smile and stay well-behaved during the shoot, etc. :) My wife and I found ourselves exhausted afterwards...but now that the pictures have come in, we are very pleased. I guess that's much like a sports game sometimes, isn't it?! All of that hard work does eventually pay off.

And now comes ANOTHER task...choosing the Christmas cards. My wife isn't a decision-maker so I always get drawn into this ordeal. Thus begins another game...deciding on a card that we both agree upon. This year, she did a few templates at shutterfly.com and let me choose my favorite. I think we finally agreed upon a card, and I really like it because it showcases 2 of our family photos (we were having trouble agreeing on which one to use), and we were able to put each of the kids' individual shots on there as well. This is the card we chose:

(Of course, those aren't my kids or family in the card; that's just a sample from the site.)

I was really impressed by the choices at Shutterfly.
