2010 Christmas Card from Shutterfly

So I have been thinking about what to do for our Christmas card for a while now. The boys NEVER enjoy taking pictures. They rarely sit still together and all smile AT THE CAMERA. It seems like the past couple of years we have simply gone with the more "realistic" picture of what it is actually like to be a family of five with three little boys. I purchased Christmas pajamas about a month ago for all three boys and decided we would use those for our annual Christmas card photo. Then I started thinking about our cards from years past and realized that unconsciously, we have alternated Christmas pajamas and dressier outfits every other year in our pictures. Until now, I had never thought about that or purposely continued the trend.

I saw this offer from Shutterfly (which I use often and REALLY like their product)where I could earn 50 free Holiday cards if I wrote a blog post about their product. I began to browse through their cards online and I kept coming back to one card. It is called the Top Ten Moments Card. The bright colors caught my eye first. I love that it has three pictures on it so I can include a picture of each of the boys without the stress of getting "THE" perfect picture of them together. Another plus is the list of top ten moments which can give a snapshot of our past year to friends and family we may not see or talk to as often I am very excited to see how these cards will look once we add our photos and our memories.

I also want to involve the boys in making the top ten list. I think it will be very interesting and entertaining to hear what they remember as their top ten moments in the past year!

Thanks to Shutterfly for this offer and for making my Christmas list a little more affordable :)
