Shutterfly Christmas Cards

I absolutely LOVE shutterfly! I have used their website numerous times. I have made photo calendars as gifts and printed many pictures from the website. One of the best things I have done is use the website to make Father's Day cards. I used photos of Mary Lee to make cards for Griffin, Steve, and my dad. They loved them and some even got a little teary eyed! This year, I plan to use Shutterfly to make my Christmas cards. We are going to the mountains soon, and I plan to take pictures of Mary Lee for our Chrismtas cards. I will then choose one of Shutterflys wonderful Christmas card designs to make our Chrismtas cards for this year. They have so many great choices with different colors, sizes, styles, and wording. There literally is a card out there for everyone! I'm not sure what card I am going to choose. I like this design because it is simple, but I haven't fully decided on the exact card I will use.

The Gerogia Aquarium

Last weekend, we took Mary Lee to Atlanta to spend the night and visit the Georgia Aquarium. Griffin had just finished Step 2 of the boards and started a new rotation on Monday, so we decided to get away for a night! We had so much fun! I told Griffin that even though we just went to eat, went to the aquarium, and watched the Auburn game in the hotel, I felt like we spent so much QUALITY time together as a family. Usually if we are at home, I feel like one of us always should be getting stuff done while the other one is playing with Mary Lee. There was no laundry or cleaning to be done in a hotel room, so our full attention was on Mary Lee the whole time...what a blessing! The little stinker even managed to sleep in the bed with Mommy and Daddy! That was a treat for us all since we don't let her do that at home...Don't want to form bad habits! Enjoy some pics from our short little getaway...
