Holy Hannah

So, you know all those posts about Shutterfly? Don't worry about it. They have lots of great products, but their promotion was lame. They didn't give me the promotion until it was too late to send it out for Christmas, and so I was going to go for a new year's card, but they weren't going to send it until the week after Christmas, and I'm going to be gone. And I'm not going to send a holiday card AFTER the new year. That's lame. Plus their promo code was lame. So I was so bummed last night, I had SO wanted to do a Christmas card. So I went to Costco's website and picked one out there, but then their photo stuff wasn't uploading. Even more sadness. So then I went to trusty old Walmart, and my cards are ready to pick up this morning :) So not at all what I had hoped for, but I am halfway there to sending out cards! This is a major lesson to myself, just do it early and forget about it.

I couldn't very well forget about it last night...I had put my family through 45 minutes of taking pictures :) Outtakes reel to come...but in the mean time here are two pictures I'm sad didn't make the card (although they would have on the Shutterfly one... )





And yes. We are ghetto and took them on our front porch, and our family one we did with a self-timer. I just had to do something other than I originally planned, we aren't getting any snow! Oh well. At least I have cards AND cute pics of my kids. It's worth it to me!

(PS I only say it was ghetto on our front porch because our front porch IS ghetto. There are plenty of cute front porches in which I think pictures are lovely. Just not mine)

AHHHHH I KNOW! Jo, I seriously had the EXACT same experience and thoughts about Shutterfly and sending a LATE holiday (new years) card. LAME. I am so frustrated right now.

And I totally would have been there to take pictures for you so you didnt have to do the self timer. Just so long as you set up the white balance and all that crap!

Merry Christmas anyway!
