It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

The Christmas season is something I look forward to every year (and now we can add our daughter's Christmas Eve birthday to the equation). Despite the commercialism that folks whine about, there's something you can't deny about that special feeling in your heart knowing that Christmas will soon be here. The lights going up on the houses, candy canes in your hot cocoa and of course, picking out the perfect gifts for friends and family. I love it all. I love driving from home to home on Christmas and how quiet the local roads are, especially if there is snow. Snow covers everything in a soft white blanket and seems to muffle out all other noises that we usually hear at other times of the year.

To get ready for the holiday season, I've been taking pictures of Elizabeth for our Christmas cards. Last year, I had them done professionally but since this year we're feeling a little bit strapped for cash, I decided to give it a shot. I'm going to use shutterfly.com: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards. I've ordered photo books from them before and they came out awesome. I figure I can't go wrong with them and there are always great promotions going on....

I have two photos to choose from - they came out the best. In one she has a pretty smile, in the other a cheesy, exaggerated one. I think I'll go with the latter. I'll show you them both. What do you think?
