2 of 25: The Ubiquitous Holiday Card

So I bought the boys matching green-and-white gingham button-downs and had them monogrammed in red, intending to snap some pictures over the weekend for holiday cards. And then the following things happened:

• The rainy, cold weather moved in;
• I had to bring a truckload of commercial leasing work home with me;
• While plowing through said work, I opened Shutterfly in a window in my browser and finished putting together our annual family calendar between lease paragraphs;
• In perusing through our family photos, I made note of the statistically significant number of shots featuring our family near a body of water, our children being goofy, or our family near a body of water while our children are being goofy;
• In proceeding to the "Order" page, I made note of the many cute holiday photo cards available at a 30 percent discount now through December 4th; and
• I decided to just go with it.

I mean, really, nothing says our family more than this does:

Photo calendars for the grandparents: ordered. And, along with them, our holiday cards. Done, and done.
