Ho Ho Ho!!

Oh i know that its still a week away from thanksgiving , but really i cannot contain myself any longer! It is so time for Christmas decor to go up! And along with christmas decor comes the discussion of CHRISTMAS CARDS! so my family has never done christmas cards because well we haven't ever had cute pictures to use but this year will be different we are getting some great family pictures done and are so excited. But what i am more excited about is how fricken cute SHUTTERFLYS new holiday card collection is! Here are my favorites :



Just go to Shutterfly.com and upload a picture of your family and pick out a card design and voila! its that easy! and shipping is quick and affordable as well! Its a great way to let distant family know that you are 1. still alive and 2. think about them! now if that doesn't give someone the warm holiday fuzzys i don't know what will!
Do you know what is really awesome? is that if you are a fellow blogger and you want to talk about how great you think shutterfly is, you can get 50 free Christmas cards! WHAT?! FREE!! sweet! http://bit.ly/sfly2010 Really though, we have a photo book from our wedding that was done through shutterfly and it is so beautiful and such good clear quality.

Happy holiday card sending friends!

a long time commin!

Wow so have we been blog slackers or what?! since our last post we have changed out babies name, moved to california, and devin began a new job! CRAZINESS! i have been postponing updating our blog until i had some pictures of our new home to post but i am such a procrastinator and haven't 100% unpacked everything yet! its sad, its terrible, and i should be ashamed but when moving you can unpack to the point of 100% full functionality and then lose the motivation to finish unpacking the last few boxes. But fear not we only have like two boxes left and some decorating upstairs to do before we unveil the pictures of our new home that we absolutely love! We had originally decided on naming the baby benjamin but have since changed it to Brody. We aren't sold on a middle name yet so im not even going to throw out the ones we have been tossing around. I am so excited and grateful for my dear friend Allison and her family for being kind enough for planning and throwing me a shower in December. I love getting together and spending time with family and friends especially when celebrating a little baby! Carter is doing great and still growing tall. He has enjoyed having his mommy at home to take him to the park, play with him, and to be his personal jungle gym and occasional punching bag. I have an ultrasound on the 18th to see if i still have placenta previa, if so i will have to have a c section. Devin started working for his dads business as the office manager. He is loving this new job and excited to start school in January. He is a bit discouraged about the wait times to get into a nursing program but plans on applying to every program within a 50 mile radius! Holiday times are upon us, its my favorite time of year. Friends and Close family and bound to bring cheer! :)
