No Christmas cards will go in the mail.
I was pretty convinced we weren't even going to do them.
We didn't get family pictures taken this year and didn't have any good pictures to use.
Do people get their family pictures taken every year? Because we sure haven't so far.
At the last minute I decided to just get one designed just so I can share it through the computer.
I had found a few pictures from Mason's 12 month photo shoot that would work - of just the kids.
No one cares to see Dave and I in pictures anyway.
So this will do the job.
So to our friends and family who check this blog
and to all those "blog" friends who check this blog
and to all those who check this blog but don't tell me
Our family wishes your family a very BLESSED Christmas season this year.
"Happy Birthday, Jesus"
I had a birthday party, most everybody came.
They danced and ate and had a ball, But no one spoke My name.
They gave each other presents, as nice as they could be.
People came from far and near, But no one mentioned Me.
The stores were filled with shoppers, The restaurants crowded out,
But no one seemed to really know what the party was about.
They talked about a reindeer. I think Rudolph was his name.
Then someone mentioned "Jesus", And they hung their heads in shame.
You see, it was My birthday. They didn't even know.
That is why from heaven My heart is grieving so.
I came to earth from heaven on that first Christmas day--
Born in a lowly manger From sin to show the way.
I died one day on Calvary, on a cruel Roman cross
To save a world of sinners from a life of awful loss.
When you next have a party, with presents, friends and tree,
Remember Me, your Savior, whose birth has set you free.
-- Jesus
PS: I am coming again soon.

Amanda - thanks for your sweet comment on our family photo. Glad I'm not the only one unable to get our cards out this year! LOVE yours and your darling kiddos!
You'll have to teach me how to do that! I love that card! But, I do care and so next year you will have to include you and Dave in the pictures! Oh, and I would like one for my fridge!
