It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!!

Don't you ever wonder what people do with your Christmas Cards? I have such a hard time throwing them away because I love the people in the pictures.....and for some reason, I feel like throwing them out at the end of the season would somehow put in to question the love I have for those people. I know....kinda weird....but if you don't believe me.....and you have sent me a card with a picture over the last five (sentimental) years, ask me for proof and I'll give it to you! I'll even post it on my blog!
Just so you know......here is what I do with the cards I receive. I love them and every time I walk past them I smile! So....don't take me off your Christmas card list just yet! xoxoAim
I love getting Christmas cards in the mail. Yesterday I received five! JACKPOT! And they were good ones....make it great ones! I found out lots of fun things about friends I haven't spoken with in a long time! Two friends announced a baby, one announced a marriage and lots of other fun things.
So.....Lisa put her Christmas card picture on her blog and I thought that was a fun idea...so I am posting Holly's (which I made for her) and mine......although you've probably already seen it! --

Ellery was there for Christian's birth last August! I love the picture of her (above) with tears streaming down her cheeks as she holds her new brothers hand for the first time! It was quite a moment! (If you click on the picture you can make it bigger!) --- -------

You can't vote for which card is cuter Amy! That's like asking us to vote for which kids or families are cuter. I think what you are asking for us to comment on is what an amazing photographer you are. All the pictures are unbelievable. They're breath taking! And your card makes us all want to be a part of your life because it just dispalys good times....good times! Now quit being so darn competitive and enjoy the holidays! How's the hmf's coming along? New Years Eve. is just around the corner...5..4..3..2...1......well..you know what's suppose to come next! I can't wait to hear!

Amy... that picture of the little girl crying and holding her new sibling's fingers... Holly's daughter? I seriously have tears in my eyes just seeing it. All of the pictures are great, but that is the shot of a lifetime.

Have you gone to KSL's web site latley? You get to vote ditto or off subject or troll. to the comments made. I think you should have options, at least the option of ditto. I ditto Krissy's comment.

Christie Darling!
First of all....Happy Holidays! Second of all.....I LOVE your blog....finally pictures of you and you look fantastic. Thirdly.....that little girl is Ellery (Holly's only daughter.) El was there for the birth of Christian this past July! It was a pretty incredible experience. I have another shot that is similar but even more moving that will probalby be on my "BEST OF 2006" that I am planning on doing. However....I'll probably forget and/or run out of time......just like I did today when I was supposed to bring two dozen rolls to a funeral for a lady in our ward who died early this week. How do you appologize for something like that? How do I explain the note I wrote to myself on my refridgerator (the most frequenlty visited square feet in my house)? CRAZY! This whole aging process isn't going so well with me!

Plese give my best to your cute parents and tell them to keep asking my parents to go on a mission to Guatemala! I NEED THE BLESSINGS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! -----Amy

Aimio,

I received your beautiful Christmas card yesterday in the mail and today I have spent the day driving around running my last minute errands (in the snow, no less), while listening to the fabulous CD, and you know what....I AM SO HAPPY! Thank you for taking the time to put something so special together for your friends and family. What a TREAT! You are such an amazing person, and are constantly thinking of others....and you ALWAYS make others happy...even if it is from a distance. I love you dearly and I hope that you have a fabulous Christmas surrounded by those you love. XOXO-SuzyQ

Okay Aim, I'm going to test your stockpile of Christmas cards. If you still have ours from last year, you should post it because I'm a loser and haven't put together a card with a pic for this year. I don't even know if I'm gonna send them. I mean, who wants a card with no picture? That's not fun, whereas, yours has a gazillion pictures and is fabulous. I listened to my CD today and it's so great. Love you! See you Sunday, Kels

Ame, thanks for the cutest Christmas present ever!! I love it!!! And I LOVE your Christmas card! Thanks for making me smile.

FYI - I posted Annie's birthday pictures for you. :) I love you and hope you're having fun with everyone right now. It makes me so sad I'm not there.

Merry Christmas!

Amy, ... you joke your refrigerator lies within "the most frequenlty visited square feet in my house." This can not be so because the last time I was at your house you had about two things in there (and one was a small carton of expired milk)!! Please take a picture of your fridge right now and post so all can see, it's okay that you didn't remmeber the rolls, people who don't use the refrigerator shouldn't post notes on it! :)

I love you!
