Oh Christmas Card, Oh Christmas Card

It's that time of year again! Time to drag my children hither and yon to get the perfect photo for our Christmas card. You know the one. The one where they are both smiling and perfectly posed. The one where just moments before they were killing each other. The one where I am saying in my sweetest voice (read: yelling), "Smile and look like you love each other."

Then, I get to upload all the pictures we took, argue, I mean discuss, with Kenny which one perfectly represents us and our girls and then edit the heck out of it. The color balance and brightness must be perfect!

Last, I get to go online to a photo site and find a card that fits us perfectly. Funny, but a reminder of what this season is all about. Cute, but not sickeningly sweet. Another argument, I mean discussion, with Kenny and finally we have the perfect card.

The good news for me is the last step just got a whole lot easier thanks to Shutterfly. They are giving me 50 free cards just for blogging about them and their awesome products. You can do it, too! Just go to: http://bit.ly/sfly2010 and sign up your blog!

They have the cutest Christmas cards! I am having a hard time deciding, but I have found a few favorites. What do you think?

They also have other great products that would make nice gifts. Everything from personalized mugs to wall calendars. Of course, if time gets away from you and you forget all about Christmas cards, you can always go with these.

I can't wait to get started on mine. I know they will be great thanks to Shutterfly!
