Shutterfly Christmas Cards

The time has come again…Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is looming ever nearer. The clock is ticking down and my holiday to do list keeps growing. It is so nice to have already decided on Shutterfly for this year’s Christmas card. I love all their fabulous backgrounds and collage configurations. I am still trying to decide whether I want to do one larger picture or a group of smaller ones, but I know with all the options Shutterfly has to offer my pictures will end up looking awesome. I have bought photo cards from them before and my photos looked great, not to mention their website was easy to use and it was easy edit and fit my photos in to make them look their best. One of the cool options they have is the folded Christmas card where you can put images inside and out with room for a letter on the inside. Check out all the card options here and here.

In addition to the Christmas cards I have been checking out all the other photo gifts they offer. When choosing Christmas presents it is so nice to make something unique and personal with photos. Shutterfly offers fabulous templates for calendars you can see here. I also really like the mugs. The nice thing when getting presents for grandparents is you know they can’t get enough photos of their grandkids.

So good luck with your holiday shopping. Hopefully, Shutterfly will help you cross a few things off of your list, both cards and calendars are on sale right now. And if you are a blogger and want to take advantage of their free card offer check here.

Halloween.....WARNING..major blog catch up below

We had a little Halloween party for preschool. All the girls were ballerinas.

We took our little preschool group on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. A few extra friends for our neighborhood were also able to come. The kids had a great time.

Omaha...Somewhere In Middle America

In October the girls and I got so spend ten fabulous days with my brother Nathan, sister-in-law Allie, Austin, Olivia, and adorable new baby Pierce. The first couple days my dad was also there for Pierce's blessing. The rest of the time was packed with trips to the zoo and pumpkin patch, we went to their learning center and an indoor swimming pool. In between we went to great parks and spent hours playing in the backyard and with all their fun toys. The kids had a blast and I had so much fun hanging out with Allie all day and holding Pierce. It was hard to leave. Good thing we are headed back to meet my parents and sister there for Thanksgiving. We can't wait!!!

That's right, there is a sprinkler in the picture. Crazy kids!

September Fun

These first four pictures are just from a fun fall day at the park.

We spent two weekends in a row up with Susan and JA and Kara's family because Susan and JA were leaving on a mission to Peru. We had so much fun and miss having them so close, but are so excited to hear all about their mission. What great missionaries they will be.

We went to a beautiful park that is on the Potomic River.

This was their first day of preschool. We have a little one with their friends Jayden, and Milah. The mom's just trade weeks. It has been really fun and the girls love going together.
Static electricity fun.

Lydia's Birthday and a Campout!

For Lydia's birthday we started off the day at Crump Park with our friends Kim and Milah. Then we had a little family party when Justin got home. Lydia's friend Beck stopped by for a cupcake. After, we left for a campout with our friends the Laytons. The campground has a fun water park we went to the next day. Sorry the pics are as always in reverse order. It was a fun day. We can't believe she is so big. She is such a sweet girl and we love having her in our family!!
