Confession: there are a lot of things that I've been looking forward to this Christmas.
- going to a tree farm & chopping down our first Christmas tree
- putting up our Christmas tree next to our fireplace & decorating it
- hanging up stockings on our mantel in our new house
- decorating the inside of our home
& finally: sending out our Christmas cards!
The cards arrived last week from Minted and I spent last Sunday night writing little messages on them to our family and friends & sealing them up in their envelopes to drop in the mailbox the next morning.
I love, love, love how these turned out!
The fabulous Jessica of Jessica Roberts Photography took our pictures back in October on the South Carolina State House grounds. It was a quick & painless 15 minute mini session and we walked away with some great non-wedding-related pictures.
Here's our 2016 Christmas card:
So why didn't we use a wedding picture for our Christmas card? Easy. I didn't want to! I wanted some new, non-wedding-related pictures that I haven't shared with everyone a dozen times over.
In the meantime, I'll be hanging out by our Christmas tree admiring all the fun ornaments and lights on our tree while opening up Christmas cards from some of our favorite people as they arrive in our mailbox.
Your cards are so cute! They are absorbable and I bet are so cheery in your friends mailboxes!
