Christmas cards.

Working so hard (really just getting 2 children under the age of 4 to smile or look in the same direction) on Christmas cards lately (this consisted of two 5 minute sittings one yesterday and one today), I know I am exaggerating, but mentally I have been doing this in my head for 6-9 days---so yes, I am exhausted :-)

Anyway, thought I might take you on a trip down memory lane of our past Christmas cards....

Below 2003, married one year we took a trip to Canada (Torronto) and here we are on top of the world's largest tower or something like that...haha.

2004 - my sister took this picture in the Summer - - totally candid but it came out so nicely that we used it for our Christmas cards :-) (notice Jules did away with the beard..it was never seen again). haha.

Love love this picture! Our trip to Vegas in 2005 - we were bored after 3 days so on the last day there we took a car and drove into the desert to the grand canyon ( I think 3 or 4 hours one way) and I kid you not when I say we did 100 MPH just about the whole time, loved it,, had a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone, vegas, grand canyon... LOVED IT. Best trip ever. Ironically we spent about 1 hour at the grand canyon, saw the hole, turned around and drove 3-4 hours back to Vegas ...we had a plane to catch !!! Also love my arms in this picture. Oh how life was about to change 6 months later. Haha. (Getting prengant I mean).

2006 - Our Christmas card announcing Matteo Edward - Matteo always had and still does have a great smile.
