Christmas Cards

My Christmas cards are done!  And I got them for free!  Well, almost.  I had to pay about 8 dollars with tax and shipping and handling, but my bill would have come to over fifty dollars, so thank you Shutterfly!  I don't think you can get cards for much cheapers than that.

I ended up going with this layout.  They're supposed to arrive in about a week.  I'm excited to see them : )

Shutterfly Offers Free Photocards to Bloggers

Shutterfly is offering 50 free photocards to bloggers.

Awesome!

Now that we are married and settled down as a family...as much as a Marine family can be, I would really like to start doing Christmas cards. With all the chaos and businesses surrounding Casen's birth I never got around to sending birth announcements out for Casen, so doing Christmas cards would be our first introduction as a family to those far away. Shutterfly is going to make this much easier and much more affordable for us this holiday season. To learn more about this offer, click here.

Photocards isn't all Shutterfly offers.  They also offer personalized calendars and canvas wall art.  A great way to add personal touches to an apartment or home.

Their holiday cards are so cute! I love how simple, but so elegant they are.  I couldn't pick which I liked best, but I have it narrowed down to these three : )

The Little Patriot

My aunt gave Casen a bunch of Patriots gear this weekend and I must admit...he looks cute in all of them : )

Tag

My mom and I made a tag blanket yesterday and a smaller one to travel with. I'm hoping to get him attached to something besides his mama to go to sleep : )

Sippy Cups

I purchased this Nuby sippy cup today from reviews that this is the best starter sippy cup.

Here's a link to their site.

We'll see how it goes. If it ends up working i'll probably stick with this brand right up through the stages.

Our Little Ham

Casen has grown so much and with it has grown a big personality : )







He's now roughly around sixteen pounds, which in looking through our baby books, my little brother was around nine months...so he's a pretty big boy. He's eating foods and so far loves everything you put in his mouth and isn't patient for the next bite. Today we're off to find a sippy cup...it's really hard to believe we're at this stage already.
