Christmas Cards

One of my favorite things about Christmas
...and, yes, I put up E.V.'s picture next to her friends'. Call me cheesy, it's okay! :)

Christmas cards make me smile. I love seeing my friends and their little ones all happy and aglow. It's encouraging that everyone takes a quick moment at the end of the year to share how wonderful their lives are, even when the day-to-day doesn't seem so. Truthfully, when we look back at the year, it's those happy moments that we want to remember most, and looking at my friends' Christmas card pictures reminds me of those moments. Yes, Christmas may not be about all of the glitter and glamour of the modern season, but Christ gave us these amazing friends and He gave those friends their amazing families. And those two things are truly tidings of great joy. Keep 'em coming!

For years down the road when all of my paper copies are lost, here's our card this year, Emma Vance. It was your debut, and you were super cute. :)
