What are y'all doing for Christmas cards?

Surely there's going to be an "in" card this year!

I'm thinking about doing a bunch of small pictures of DD's smiling face and then writing "HAPPY holidays."

    I think I am pretty much gonna do the opposite of yours...  I might use the lyrics You better not pout, you better not cry...Santa Claus is coming to town!  And have a picture to match each line.

    I may have to do a more formal one for my parents and ILs though.  I can see this not going over well with them.

    I *think* I am going to do a pocket xmas card  (think wedding invitations)

    I am trying to descide what type of photo to use. I am going to work on it this weekend as I want to get them out right after thanksgiving.

    I am thinking of DD sitting in front of xmas tree with cookies and milk? Not sure!

    I did the "lights" last yr so thats out.

    I also thought of copying what we all did with DAD but doing HO HO HO with different pictures. Cute?

    I did our cards this week.

    I have, "While visions of sugarplums dance in their heads..."

    The girls have matching red plaid flannel nightgowns (DD1's was a x-mas gift last year, found DD2's at goodwill!!!), and I have two pics of them fake sleeping on our bed (white sheets) and then one of them laying in bed smiling.

    I am thinking of doing the 3 pictures with Ho Ho Ho. 

    or 3 pictures with J-O-Y. 

    we did xmas lights his first year, and then xmas cookies off of Santa's plate last year. 

     In front of an xmas tree I think!!

    Prob a photo card, costco had the cheapest at 50 for $14.99 but now Walmart has 50 for $14. AND they ship for FREE!  So maybe Ill print there....  I saw last year when I took Madison all dressed up there was a family there all in long sleeve, long pant holiday pajamas and santa hats posing in front of tree and it was sooooo cute!

    I LOVE the holiday jammies idea. I might steal it! 

    I am hand-making mine. We don't send that many out. I'll probably digitally design something with her photo (4x6) and then layer homemade paper crafting into that somehow.

    Now I need to find cute Christmas pjs!

    I'm not sure yet. I'll use Shutterfly cards with my Pampers GTG points. Last year I got the letters to spell out Noel, It was really cute.

    I actually have *one* pic of DD smiling for real. It's from this fall, but I'll take any one of her where she's actually smiling! So I'll just be putting that on a Shutterfly card or something. I'll put a little more effort into birth announcements once #2 is here- I found a cute site that had some good ideas for pics of siblings together.

    I'm hoping we can get a cute family picture at Disney during Thanksgiving like we did last year (which we used for last year's card). If not I'm clueless!

    Oh, it's hopefully going to be so perfect.  The pic below, plus a pic from school where DD seriously has this look to the photographer like "I will kill you in your sleep" and DS is about to cry and plus a pic with Santa where I predict DD will either be giving her WTF look, "I hate you" look or crying.  Those three with a message like "Love. Joy. Peace." or something like that.  We'll include a normal happy photo inside but it should be hilarious.  The perfect "anti" Christmas card.

    We did a flat card from Shutterfly.  It's 3 pictures of Elizabeth dancing (taken at a wedding we went to a couple of weeks ago, so she's all dressed up) and it it says "Celebrate the Season   Peace, love and joy from our family to yours" and then our names.  I think it came out really cute.

    I don't usually do a photo card because my  kids like to pick out a card at Wal-Mart.

    Usually we wind up sending something with a cat or a kitten on it because that's what they pick.  Sometimes I get prints made and stick one inside, but most people we send cards to see my kids at least once a month, so a picture isn't all that much of a big deal.
