Thursday 13 - Our Annual Christmas Card

click on image to enlarge
.
I keep our annual holiday cards in a special Christmas
album that is covered in red taffeta with our family name
embroidered on the cover.
.
The photos here are in order from our first Christmas in 1994.
In December we put the album out in the living room and
awe over how quickly the time goes. I haven't had a family photo
I've liked since 2001, but it's definately one of my resolutions for 2008.
Christmas 2007

Join in the Thursday 13 Fun!

Cute! we have done one every year for the last 7 or so, and I just realized that I have not kept ONE. Ridiculous. So, this year, I did, but now I am going to have to see if anyone else kept one that I can have back for the previous seven years! I love all your cards.

I really should start doing a photo card of the kids each year.

Maybe this will be the kick in the pants I need to actually get it done!
Happy Thursday!

Sweet. We've thought about doing this for years but I hate having pictures taken of me. I admit, the promo pick I use is like 12 years old or more.

Happy TT

I do photos each year but they are not organized in one place. Good idea.

I like that you place your Christmas album out to look at. That is fabulous.

I hate having my photos taken, but the kids are so right for the job -- about as cute as yours, I think ;)

Happy TT!

We have not done a Christmas portrait in years maybe something I better do before they start moving away on us. Beautiful pics.

That's beautiful! It's neat to watch your family grow through the years!

Good luck on getting a good family pic this year :-)

Have a wonderful new year!

Since my camera's gone digital, I haven't had any printed pictures. I might have to do some, because your books is a great idea.

Great photo memories.
We take photos of the grand kids every year, put them in small Christmas photo frames and decorate a whole tree with the memories of Christmas past.

Your boys are quite the charmers in the making it seems! Thanks for coming over.

My family never did the photo cards for the holiday's. In fact growing up I don't recall sending out that many cards either. Now a days we tend to just put together a small gift of something fairly practical. or send the odd Ecard.

One great thing that we do do is use the card that we recieve to make gift tags for the following year. Its a great way to reuse them.
