I am a SHUTTER Kind of Girl!

I spent most of last evening hunting through all of the wonderful assortment of Christmas cards on Shutterfly. Have you ever used Shutterfly? It is super easy!!!!! Go to the website, set up an account, upload your pics, and shop, shop, shop!!!!

I created McKenna's birth announcements on Shutterfly, and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out!

So when I was hunting around last night on Shutterfly, I found some really cool Christmas cards that I feel like I just have to have. Too bad for me, but Jeremy will only allow me to choose 1!

Here are a few of the great looking, and unique cards I found.

Christmas Photo Cards

These are stationary photo cards, so you can convieniently write on a message on the back!

Holiday Cards

This cute card is a folding card, so you can write inside!

New Year's Cards

Most of of think of sending Christmas cards, but what about sending a New Year's Card to ring in the new year!

If you missed my previous post, Shutterfly is giving away FREE Christmas cards to bloggers! So if you blog, and are in need of some Christmas cards.....CHECK IT OUT!!!!!

FREE To Bloggers!

With the Thanksgiving holiday coming tomorrow, do you know what else is on my mind??? Christmas of course. We always try to do our Christmas photo shoot on Black Friday. Hopefully we get that accomplished this Friday, but since we don't have Christmas dresses yet, and we are planning for Big Mac's first birthday party, that may not happen. But don't fret, I will get those Christmas cards out in time for Christmas.

I was so excited to find out that Shutterfly is giving away 50 Christmas cards for FREE to bloggers like me! If you want to find out more, you can click here! We will definately be using Shutterfly for our Christmas card needs this year. They have so many cards to choose from...check out some of my favorites below. Which ones do you like?

I hope you take some time tommorrow to give thanks for all the things in your life that God has provided for you and your family! There is so much to be thankful for!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

How Are The Ladies?

Macy

• Macy is eating like a champ!!! We are so proud of her change of appetite, and we hope it continues. Her diet keeps expanding. She ate two jalapenos eventhough they were "burning" her tongue.
• Unfortunately in the last month, Macy has had two respiratory infections, and the stomach flu twice.
• Macy is attending 2 preschools, and is learning so much! As a matter of fact, she "read" the word "honey" last week. Still not sure how she knew that word, but she did :)
• Macy visited the dentist last month, and her teeth look great! We are hoping the decrease in Pedisure has helped :)
• Last Friday, Macy was a BRAVE girl, and made it through another blood test. We haven't heard the results yet, but were confident her labs haven't changed.
  

Here's some pics of Macy having fun with some Water Play!

McKenna

• McKenna not only walks now, but she is also running.
• She has also turned into a champion climber.......any box, step stool, or step, she conquers it!
• McKenna is eating a normal toddler diet now, and drinks whole milk from a sippy for all her meals. She is not completely weaned from nursing yet, but we are working on it.
• Our little cutie is talking up a storm. A lot of it is babble, but she is also saying many words. Her words include, "mama", "dad", "dog", "cat", "uh-oh", "hi", "all done", and "girl". She even strings 2 words together to say, "hi dad", "good girl", and "all done". We are so excited!
  

Check out the clip of our little talker!
