Christmas Cards 2007-2012

I am dreading dealing with Christmas cards this year. I updated my address book, so that's a big step considering tons of people on my list moved this year. But I still haven't made the actual card... so I feel a bit behind. Here's a fun list of our previous cards.

In 2007, after Kevin proposed on the steps of the New York Public Library, we sent cards with the Library on the card.

 #1- 2007, New York Public Library

In 2008, the year we moved to New York, we sent Rockefeller Center cards. I worked pretty close to the plaza so it made sense. We also included save-the-date magnets for our wedding inside the card. It's been really fun seeing the magnets still on friends' refrigerators. Some of them are still up!

#2- 2008, Rockefeller Center

In 2009, we cheated and sent Christmas cards/ Thank you notes from the wedding.

Well, 2010 was a hard year for me because I lost my dad in November, so I made this from James's sonogram and just emailed it out.

#4- 2010, James's 12-week sonogram.

By contrast, 2011 was the happiest Christmas yet because we had a new little Santa in our home.

#5- 2011, James's first Christmas!

In 2012, I couldn't find a card I liked that fit all the pictures I wanted. Plus I was scandalized by the price of Christmas cards so I made my own for the first time. This presented a problem when trying to find envelopes for them. Trying to make my own card again this year... wonder if it would be easier to just go back to the pre-made ones.
