Our 2016 Christmas Card

I probably say this every year…but this year’s Christmas card is my favorite! I’m in love with how it turned out! Receiving Christmas cards in the mail is one of my absolute favorite things about the holiday season….and it’s Hudson’s too. We are going to save the cards we receive this year and start a tradition of pulling out one card a day throughout the year and praying for the family featured. I think it will be a great way for Hudson to learn who’s who and how to pray for others. I can’t wait!


This year we again turned to Tiny Prints….my go-to for Christmas cards and any type of announcement…and they did not disappoint! Gold and glitter? Yes please!!! 

And this year I finally remembered to write on the back of the card! I always love reading these when other people send them out. So this year I put just a little update about our lives for anyone interested…short and sweet. 
I also collaborated with Tiny Prints to create a few personalized gifts…and I love how sweet and special they are. This personalized ornament is my FAVORITE…and it’s double sided with just the kids on the other side. Custom ornaments are one of my favorite gifts to give to family. Such a perfect keepsake. 
And this custom zinc ornament is darling! Grandparents, act surprised on Christmas day! I also ordered Hudson and Sadie one of these to put on the Christmas trees they each have in the rooms. One day they will appreciate it, I’m sure. 
After seeing how amazing our Christmas photos turned out, I couldn’t help but make a few canvas prints for gifts too. The big one is 20×16 and the smaller one is 8×10. Give me all the canvases! 
So now I need to get busy stuffing these babies and get them in the mail…so if one turns up at your door act surprised, okay? Have you sent your Christmas cards yet? There’s still time to order your Christmas card from TinyPrints….they have such an amazing selection of cards this year. Plus they are on sale right now! So get to it! 
A huge thank you to Tiny Prints for making my Christmas card dreams come true!

    Your cards are beautiful and all of the gifts will be so loved. I especially love your idea of pulling a card out each day and praying for that family. Such a great idea.

    Love your cards!!!! I've been waiting until I send ours to post them…but for some reason I just can't get motivated to stuff the envelops and add stamps! Perhaps we can convince TP to do that for us next year…

    The front of the card is just perfection!! And I love write-ups on the back!! A farm preschool – how neat! Parker does an "outdoor" preschool – love the idea of getting the kiddos outside, so needed 🙂
