but now i'm joined by the boys in being excited to open and read them.
when a new one arrives in the mail, c is sure to see it and he too enjoys
the photos, especially when the parents of kids get in there too. finn asks
if he is related to someone he doesn't recognize, and scout looks to find a
place to hang the new card. the cards make us smile and remind us of our
friends and family far away {and those close by too}.
some of the holiday cards are simple store bought cards, others have a special
special quote, many have sweet family photos, some contain a long letter full
of details of the giver's year. sometimes we get one that is usually creative.
this year's most creative card came from our friends debbie and eric,
who recently got engaged. they reenacted the famous photo from 1945
that was taken in time square. oh how I ADORE it!! it was taken right in
San Diego's bay, with the midway in the background.
{this one is definitely a keeper}
my favorite card homemade came from scoutie.
{he made in art class at school}
he explained that it took him a very long time to punch
out all the black and white dots and glue them on the card.
i bet! i still have it displayed...it's sitting on top of the piano
where it will remain a few more weeks. the other holiday cards
came down last weekend. {c asked if those were staying up until valentines}.
