Merry Christmas from our crazy bunch!

A quick look at some of our previous Christmas cards (here, here, here, here) will tell you that we’re not real traditional. One of these days we’re going to surprise all of our friends by sending a nice family picture with a beautiful picturesque background. This year didn’t happen to be that year.

I thought it would be fun to have a Christmas card with all the Dr. Seuss characters we dressed up as on Halloween. Steve didn’t love that idea. So this was the compromise – Steve and I in our Halloween costumes and the rest of the kids in some cute Christmas jammies. And because I love different design concepts for cards – this year was a banner strung on bakers twine. Yes, we hand strung those and yes, I made the kids help – and we sent out quite a few! We were all happy when they went out in the mail.

It might be my favorite card to date just on the message alone – and I can’t help but smile every time I see Briggs’ picture!
