Christmas and More!!

The weekend before Christmas Daphne and I went over to a friends house and got to meet little Peetie for the first time. Such a sweet baby and Daphne loved giving him kisses. It is hard to see in this pictures but she is kissing Peetie :)

Hanging out with Elton on the back of the couch.

Playing with Mike on Christmas eve.

Helpin Mike and Chris shred paper for the fire.

Clapping that the fire finally got going :)

Hanging out with Shanny.

Everytime I take a picture of Daphne and Nick, Nick mimics Daphne's big open mouth smile. It's kinda funny because I don't think he realizes that he is doing it.

Opening her stocking Christmas morning. But really more interested in the yarn balls on her stocking.

Playing with the other girl cousins Anna and Astoria. So neat that they are all able to play together now that they have all gotten a little older.

Cuddling with Great Grandma Minnie.

Some December pictures

Playing in the park.....

Multitasking by holding a toy in her mouth so she can open the cabinet

One pony tail in and one that she pulled out...

and they're both out

We call it her Albert Einstein hair when she pulls her ponytails out

Christmas Cards with Shutterfly

I have been using Shutterfly for several years now. I have always been very happy with their service, prices, and how speedy I recieve my bright orange packages in the mail. I really like the security of knowing that they have a copy of all of my pictures so if my computer were to ever crash or I lost my back of pictures they have them all.

That is why we will be ordering our Christmas cards from Shutterfly. http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationary/christmas-photo-cards. We really should have a picture of our whole family this year for our christmas card but it just seems too hard to set up a time to have someone take all of our picture together. So if I am going to order them in time for Christmas it will just have to be Daphne and Elton. Good thing they are both photogenic.

I love using Shutterfly's design tools to create a calendar every year. http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars. I usually use various pictures of Elton that I have taken throughout the year but this years calendar will be of him and Daphne and I am really excited with how it turned out.

Shutterfly has photo and stationary options for their cards and I have used both. I used the stationary for Daphne's birth announcement and then the photo option for Daphne's first birthday invitation. http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationary/birthday-invitations.

So with all that being said....I can't wait to recieve my next orange package in the mail with our christmas cards!
