The last couple years, Mike and I did something silly for our holiday card. Two years ago we went all holiday explosion and sent out this beauty:
Then the next year we decided not to do the usual “we got married!” holiday card, and opted for something a little more fun.
This year, we had a few ideas for how to do something fun or funny again, but while sorting through Shutterfly‘s card templates, I saw one called “2011 Highlights” and I started thinking, ya know, we had a pretty awesome year. Let’s show off a little. And so instead of silly, we did this:
In case you can’t tell or can’t read it (it’s a screen shot, so real fancy), it’s 9 different pictures and the bottom describes each of them. The first six are from the six major cities we visited on our May European excursion: London, England. Paris, France. Lucern, Switzerland. Venice, Italy. Florence, Italy. Rome, Italy. The last three are other fun things we did: skydiving, whitewater rafting (in Montana), and Yellowstone National Park.
Seeing it all laid out like that, we really did have a freaking sweet year! We’re so grateful.
We only ordered 25 cards though, and I have a massive family, so those went quickly. We would have liked to send many more, but probably not enough to order 50, the next minimum. So if you didn’t get one, we apologize, but know you’re in our thoughts!
We hope you all have a very happy holiday season!
