Christmas Cards

I know it is still a week away from Thanksgiving, but it is time to begin thinking about Christmas cards! This has been a tradition for me since Aaron and I married in 2000. Only recently, though, have I been drawn to the awesome choices of cards from Shutterfly. Over the last several years we have used Shutterfly for our printing needs. They are my favorite company (no joking here!), and I even referred a new friend to them for her printing needs. I'm telling you, I can't speak highly enough of them. So anyway, last year I sent out (for the first time) one of those email letters as our Christmas card because it was the easiest way to let everyone know what we were up to. I did, however, order a few cards for family and they turned out great! I had a difficult time choosing last year, and I can't imagine how to pick from the choices they have this year. Check them out here. Here are a few of my favorites:

Now do you see why I am having a hard time choosing? Any suggestions on which ones you like best?

I'm also thinking of gifts for grandparents this year. In years past, we have given picture calendars, collages, and photo mugs. Did I also mention that they have wonderful photo books??? I am currently working on a photo book for our Guatemala trip.... it's taking longer than I expected! Hopefully, it won't take me that long to choose a design for the Christmas card - at least I already have the picture in mind that I hope to use! :)
