Shutterfly Rocks

So... Shutterfly is offering 50 FREE Christmas cards to bloggers!! Thanks Sarah, for the tip! Just head over to their site to check it out here

We had my family over today for the Ellis family Thanksgiving and my brother has a great Nikon SLR camera (which by the way, my dad hinted in getting one for himself and me!!! Let me know if you see any awesome Cyber Monday deals) that he took our family Christmas photos with. I'm hoping that I can find a card that has a couple of photo boxes because there are too many cute ones to choose from! I do wish that Shutterfly offered more cards with Scripture and focusing the real meaning behind Christmas.

I'm so excited that I saw and picked up The Little Drummer Boy at the library recently. I'm starting to see a little more of the silver lining in Logan being so completely obsessed with drums lately. The little drummer boy knows that no gift is great enough for a king... Jesus, and he gives all that he has (playing his precious drum) and does his best! As we've been talking about how the drum can become an idol for Logan, this story presents a great transition into teaching Logan how those who love the Lord can do all things as if doing them for Him. OK, so I love, love, love books! I love cuddling up with my sweet little boy who doesn't always want to cuddle anymore and diving into a new experience, then relating it to our lives and learning from it.

I've used Shutterfly's photo cards before... for Logan's baby announcement. Their calendars are awesome too!

Be on the lookout for our family's super cute Christmas card soon! I can't believe how quickly Christmas is approaching!
