All I Want For Christmas Is You...

The minute I was handed my CD of wonderful memories I knew I was going to LOVE what I was about to see. Never did I think I would have so many pictures that captured my sweet family. Like I said before we had never done Christmas cards before. Well that is all going to change and thanks to Shutterfly I get 50 of them for free. How fabulous is that? I need your help to pick which one will be the "one" for this years Christmas card. Of course, I can't pick... You know how I get with this stuff. 

Here are your Top Five choices. 

#1
How can you not smile at this?
 #2

This sweet little donkey was such a trooper!

#3
J. O. Y.
 #4

Love these sweet men!



#5
LOVE this one!
1. I am truly blessed with these adorable little men.
2. We don't want a dog or a cat we want a pet donkey for our castle. 
3. JOY is the perfect word for what I feel when I see these... 100% pure joy!
4. It was freezing out and my sweet boys were such troopers. 
5. Thankful that I have three boys because really a little lady at this point in our lives just wouldn't fit in :)
6. I keep looking at these pictures over and over again. Why? They just make my heart happy.
7. For someone who HATED getting a family photo I am a 100% convert. I LOVE it now!
8. I am loved. I am thankful. I am blessed. I am redeemed.
9. I am getting excited for Christmas. Yes, I know it's not even Thanksgiving but after seeing these photos I want to turn on the Christmas lights, get out the hot chocolate, count the snow flakes, make snow angels, wrap presents and set out the cookies and milk. I can't wait to snuggle up with those men you see and get ready for the holiday season!
10. So, I really need your help... Which one should I choose???



*A special thanks to Nikki James Photography for these amazing pictures!

  1. They are all awesome! I like the 2nd to the last for a Christmas card. Although, there are cards where you can use more than 1 pic. Just a thought... Beautiful, or I should say Handsome family with a beautiful mama! =)

  15. I'm totally stealing your idea to use the word "JOY" in our Christmas pictures this year. ;o) I looooooove it! Where did you get those letters? Were they specially made? I love your blog and I'm your newest follower. Found the pictures on pinterest. =)

  17. Absolutely love these pictures and might have to copy your idea for our card this year, except that I have three girls and a golden retriever that is bigger than the donkey! Would you mind sharing where you got the letters?

  18. I have been looking for the letters too. I have looked at Hobby Lobby, Michael's and Joann's.

    2. LOL! I just caught up on your blog. Love all the new pictures. I read the post about trying for a girl. UGH. I can totally relate. I had two girls, so when I was pregnant with #3 I got tons of rude and stupid comments.Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  25. Add me to the list of "where did you get the letters?" traka21@hotmail.com

  26. This is a great idea. Not sure where you got your letters, but a DIY way would be to cut them out of cardboard and then spray paint? I had a friend take our family photo and then I ordered a printable design from this Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ruffdesigns
    I lOVE the way they turned out!
