The Christmas Card

On Sunday I realized that I needed to get moving on our Christmas cards. As I was sitting on my sofa Sunday night, ordering my picture cards online, I realized how far technology has brought us with card sending. 16 years ago we sent out our very first picture card of CJ. Way back then I actually had to take a whole roll of pics with a regular camera, take the film to a store to get processed, wait 24 hours for the prints, and hope to heaven that there was at least one decent picture. Then I had to take the picture we selected to a photo place and have them print my cards. 16 years ago I had to wait about 5 days for the cards to be done. When I finally got them home I had to write on each individual card, "Love, Chris, Jo Anne, and Christopher." SOOOO much work. Now, I snap a bunch of photos (still the most stressful part,) download the pics to my laptop, send the best one to an online site, select a cute design, and have our names preprinted on each card. Once I placed my order, I received a confirmation that they would be ready at 11am the next day for pick up. 16 hour service....amazing!!!!! Gotta love technology.

Here are a few that I liked, but didn't pick.
