Early & OT: Christmas Cards
I happen to be on the ball this year with the Christmas cards. I have them done and ready to send. Anyone else???? It is Carter's first Christmas with us so I was extra motivated.
Here is our card this year. The top inside reads: Where it was dark now there is light Where there was pain, now there's joy Where there was weakness, I found all in the eyes of a boy Bottom inside reads: This Christmas Season our hearts are filled with joy to have Carter home and safe with us! We are forever thankful to our friends and family for their support and love through this long journey. Wishing everyone a Happy Healthy Holiday Season!

I always send my Christmas cards out the day after Thanksgiving and pride myself on being early with them. However, this year I'm waiting for Valentina to come home and have her picture taken with my nephew and send those out. Every year I buy my cards after Christmas on clearance, and for the last 3 years I've been buying the ones that have a place for a picture as I keep saying "next year we'll have our baby." THREE YEARS!!!! THIS YEAR I'LL HAVE PICTURES OF HER!!!!! And then Product (RED) comes out with their Christmas cards so I'm going to use those. So I have about 200 blank Christmas cards.....
