I Didn't Quit on Christmas Cards

So, once again the Orrs did not send out a Christmas card.  While I have heard arguments that the whole tradition is rendered obsolete with the use of social media, that is not my excuse.  I actually look forward to checking the mail throughout December.  Seeing the beautiful faces of family and friends and reading their warm holiday greetings isn't lessened for me because I've seen pictures of their children on Facebook.  Instead it makes me feel remembered and definitely spreads a little Christmas cheer.

So, why, if I love receiving them so much, have I neglected to send out my own?  To put it simply, time...I just keep running out of time.  Last year, I was preparing to welcome our baby girl into the family, and this year I...I, guess I was just busy being a stay at home/home school mom of my three littles and the days just got away from me.  I did however, take some Christmas pictures of my crazy kids.  It was Scarlett's first Christmas after all, but that is as far as I got.  So here they are...






So for those of your who keep sending me Christmas cards, thank you!  I did not quit on Christmas cards, I will try again next year. :-)
