As much as I love my new "Santa and the Zombies" Christmas card, I'm aware that some people may not appreciate the humor as much as I do - specifically, my husband and my grandparents. So, I decided, last minute of course, that I needed to pull together a more traditional Christmas card to send out.

The problem is, with my daughter suffering from a killer case of croup and my son in desperate need of a haircut, we aren't in the position to take a cute picture of the kids in front of the tree. And, after perusing all of the photos from the last year, we have very few with the kids together - and not one with both of them looking at the camera, smiling, etc.

Which is why I was thrilled to find the "Year in Review" postcard option in iPhoto! It let me pull together some of the highlights from this past year, including pictures of Steve and me with the kids. My biggest challenge was figuring out what to say on it! (I used an excerpt from this poem by Ruth Kephart).

Of course now that they are ordered, I have to figure out who to send them to.... and whether Miss Manners would allow for the use of mailing labels. I swear, a mom's work is never done!
