Shutterfly great Holiday Cards

Shutterfly is offering new, fantastic Holiday Cards for 2010. They are adorable and there are so many different styles that you will have no trouble finding a perfect fit for you and your family. This past Mother's Day I created cards for all of the wonderful women in our lives and they turned our fabulously! Our families raved about the great collages of our beautiful daughters. Every Christmas since we had Alyssa Kate we sent pictures in our Christmas cards. This year we have great family pictures to send taken by a good friend. I can't wait to create adorable cards of our little family.

Here are few of my favorites that Shutterfly is offering this year:

One of my favorite things about the cards that the offer is that you can create cards that have as many as 7 pictures in them. I have a hard time choosing between the all the cute pictures of my girls and this allows me to share so many of them. While my favorite cards are the folding variety I found this one and thought it was too adorable with the Christmas tree shape made out of pictures!

Have fun creating and share how great you experience is! www.Shutterfly.com

Family Pics

Our friend Jill Brannon took family pictures of our family last week. She did a wonderful job and was able to get cuteness out of the choas.

Here is the link to her photography blog with examples of her work:

Halloween

Our Halloween this year was a four day process :) This year was so fun with both girls into the dressing up and of course the free candy! The previous showed pics of our Halloween party with some little friends on Wednesday. Thursday night we attended a new event to us called Boo!seum. This year was the 15th year and we are glad we found out about it. Nine Little Rock museums host the event with people able to walk between them and play games, do crafts and of course get candy. It was fun to walk around downtown and see all of the other kids.

Friday night was GSFest at our church. We had such a good time riding rides, playing games an seeing our friends. While Alyssa Kate rode quite a few rides this motorcycle ride was Caroline's only one. She was pretty calm before it started but as soon as it did....

she looked like this

Alyssa Kate loves to climb the rock walls on our play set at home and some of the parks we like to go to. There was a climbing wall at the festival and she said she wanted to do it. I was skeptical if she would actually go through with it but was proud of her even trying it. She showed no fear and mounted the over 30 foot wall and climbed like a monkey all the top and pushed a bottom that sounded an alarm to show she made it all the way to the top.

When she was finished on her first side the nice man that was running the wall asked if she wanted to climb the other side and of course she did. So, up the wall she went.

The was our first Halloween in our new house and the girls had a blast. I worked until 7 Sunday night and when I got home the girls and Wes were on the front porch handing out candy. The girls really liked giving candy to all the kids that came by. We set out after I got home to Trick or Treat for the first time. Alyssa Kate is a very shy girl with people she doesn't know and even if those she knows well but that girl went crazy Halloween night. She ran from house to house saying trick or treat and thank you to anyone who would give her candy. I guess if we want her not be shy we need everyone to give her candy when she sees them :)
