Holiday Talk: A Party, Decor, & Cards

Yesterday we packed up and headed out to see family for the holidays. We went to a holiday party that Greg’s family gives each year, but didn’t stay long. Boogie’s been skipping naps (he fights them) so his lack of rest’s catching up with him. If he does nap, it’s not for long. He’s become a BEAST. Yesterday he was a mess.

We’re trying to enjoy this time away from home not worrying about blog stuff, but there are some things that still need to be done. We’re finally getting rid of this stale theme. Boogie is going on 8 months and he was 2 weeks old in the picture in the header. We have something new all ready to go. We’re aiming to have it released tomorrow.

I finally had some time to take pictures of our holiday decor. To keep from having to edit and upload pictures, I made a montage. There’s some pictures of Boogie included! I also have a set of him in a cute elf get-up that I have to edit. Hopefully I can have them up by Christmas!




Oh and check out our holiday cards! Lil Sweet Prince designed the photo cards especially for us! We chose a metallic finish and they just shiiiine. The picture above just don’t do them justice. We inserted them into cards we bought 2 years ago. Yea, we hoard things. With the insane increase in postage, we are only mailing out a few. Yes, they are arriving late, but who cares. Do you know it costs 62 cents to send a square envelope!??!?! The rest of the family will get theirs hand delivered!

    Your card is beautiful! At least you are getting them out. This year no card for us. I just didn’t do one. And not it is too late. Oh well… enjoy the holidays!

    Hope little man catches up on sleep. And have a lovely Christmas!
