The Sweet Life

Our family holiday card was an absolute last-minute, mommy-got-a-wild-hair, here-kids-eat-some-chocolate, wild and crazy event. Literally, at noon on the Tuesday BEFORE the kids’ class parties (which is always my personal deadline for our cards) I hit up The Gap, wandered around for over an hour cursing the photographer that was making me dress my three kids for a photo shoot (oh, wait…that was ME), and started bribing them from the minute they came home from school.

It had all the makings of a disaster…Coco was exhausted and hadn’t napped. The light was fading FAST. Husband was out of town. Big kids had both had big days at school. And MOST OF ALL-I forgot Coco’s shoes.

But once I’m up against a deadline, we do or die. And so, we did.

Front (several chocolate chips were harmed in the making of these images)

Inside (you’ll want to click the image to view it a little larger…loved being able to squeeze in a few details on each kidlet)

Back (because I MUST always include a photo of someone either a) crying, or b) pulling down their pants. This year, we went with crying.).

I LOOOOVED the final card, they arrived in time to hand out that Friday, and the kids declared it the best afternoon of their WHOLE LIVES. LOL

Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone. We hope you have a wonderful night, and an even better year!

XO,

Jen and Family
