Shutterfly

I can’t believe that Christmas is just around the corner and Christmas cards are to be sent. Christmas comes up so quickly and with three children finding the time to do everything for the holidays is very challenging.

Every year before we had kids I would have some boring card that everyone else seemed to have. Going to photo cards are a great way to make your card unique. I've ordered from Shutterfly for other photo cards http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery and photo books http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books Why it didn't occur to me to do this at Christmas time I'm not sure. This year I will be using Shutterfly! Shutterfly makes the process of making cards so easy with their great designs and easy process for making these cards. Lets face it with 3 children I hardly have enough time to send cards let alone write them out. Shutterfly makes it easy for me and the quality of the cards are great.

I was quite impressed with all the options for cards for this Christmas season http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery You can choose from flat stationary cards, folded greeting cards, and flat photo cards! They also have cards that support a cause which is a great option too. There are so many different options but I particularly liked the snowflake wishes noir card.

Right now, Shutterfly is offering up to 30 percent off all holiday cards.
If you are a Blogger you can get 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly: http://bit.ly/sfly2010

Lily and Kylie


This is a picture of Lily and her good friend Kylie. Lily became quick friends with Kylie after we moved in last year. They played great with one another and had so much fun together. Well Lily is sad because her good friend moved away a couple of weeks ago. Kylie came over the day they were moving and spent the whole day with us. I'm bummed that they had to move because they were such a wonderful family. Kylie and her family will be missed but we have promised to stay in touch.

Turkey's in disguise




Lily had a project to do for school, which was to cut out color and decorate this turkey. We decided to disguise the turkey and make her look like Hannah Montana. Lincoln of course wanted to do the project too so he did a blue suited Santa disguise. They both turned out sooo cute. We made Lily's to look just like the Hannah Montana outfit she has. I think her turkey is going to be by far the best turkey!!!!

Playing with Lydia



Finally the lazy little girl is sitting up. We have waited and waited for Miss Lydia to begin to sit up on her own but she was just playing lazy. She is doing a pretty good job lately as we are practicing often. Here she is tonight sitting up and playing with Lily and Linc.

Swinging





Yesterday we went outside to enjoy the nice weather. Chad put Lydia's swing up so she could swing with Lily and Lincoln and she loved it. The each had to wear their new hats. Aren't they too cute!!!

Selena Gomez concert





Last Saturday November 6 I took Lily to the Selena Gomez concert. My mom came with us too. This was not only Lily's first concert but Grandma Donna's first concert as well. I had bought these tickets for Lily's birthday and the concert was suppose to be in late July but Selena got sick and the concert was postponed. I kept this secret from Lily until then. It was hard but fun. We started the night off at Applebee's with appitizers and then off to the concert. Little did I know Selena Gomez has a huge population fan base here because it took us over an hour on the highway to get to the concert which should have taken us 20 minutes. It was a fun time until the end and I think Lily was just to tired. Lily got a shirt that I stood in line to get about an hour or so and of course all they had was a youth M which is huge on her but oh well she'll grow into it.

Halloween PJ's


Grandma and Grandpa VH got all the kids halloween pj's. Linc loves his and hates to take the off.

Lydia in her halloween shirt




Here are a few shots of Lydia with this cute onsie on and her leg warmers. I love when I put these leg warmers on her they are too cute!!!!

Pumpkin Farm















Last weekend we went to a pumpkin farm with Mom, Dad, Mark, Brit, and the kids. We had a blast eventhough the weather was so cold. We had never been to this pumpkin farm before the kids loved the slides they had set up.

Pumpkin Carving






Last weekend we carved our pumpkin. Lily and Lincoln did a great job scooping out the guts of the pumpkin and picking out the seeds for roasting. Lydia even got in on the action. Both Lily and Linc loved roasted pumpkin seeds we put cinnamon and sugar on them.

Lydia
















Here are some snapshots of Lydia.
