'Tis the Season. . . . to begin planning for Christmas!

It's safe to say I've never thought about Christmas cards in October.  Granted, it's the end of October, but still. . . .

And then came Molly!!!

So, this year, with Molly, I've been thinking about Christmas cards for weeks already!  I carefully planned the types of invites we are sending out for her dedication at church (which is occurring in December) based on the fact that I knew I'd want to do photo Christmas cards. 

Shutterfly has some great Christmas card designs!  I've had so much fun looking through all of the different types and designs, playing with pictures of Molly, trying to decide which card to choose!

I mean, I love the whimsical, fun look of this one.  But I really dig the brown in this oneThis one is just so classic!  Ahhh. . . . too many precious choices!  Maybe we'll do a little of each?

Obviously, I have had a hay day looking at all of these designs, checking out the different options with their gift tags, and browsing their address labels!  Oh, and check out their precious Christmas birth announcements!  Too stinkin' cute!

I've been thinking a little about what we'll do. Not sure yet!

I always get started on Christmas card planning super early - and with a kiddo now, it's definitely more fun to send the card with a fun family picture. (o:

I feel the same way! Once Lucy gets here, we will be doing a nice family pic, hopefully :)

i'm hoping that next year will be our first year for a christmas photo card...either because we're engaged or (gulp!) married! that is kind of our timetable... ;-)

ADORABLE choices there. i think i like the second one with the brown the best...

Thanks for getting me inspired to get to thinking about this already. I got so busy last year we never did a family Christmas pic. Bad me!!! This year will have to be different since we have an additional member of the family! I think I have enough pampers points to get some free stuff on Shutterfly's website too! Yipee!

I ALWAYS get started on my Christmas cards early, too! Planning them is so much fun! The ones that you chose are precious, and with little pumpkin's sweet face on it, it's sure to be GORGEOUS...no matter which one you choose!

So so fun! I'm impressed with your early planning and happy for your excitement and joy in your sweet daughter :)
