It was a Christmas miracle that I got our Christmas cards designed, printed, labeled, stuffed, stamped, return address stamped, sealed, AND washi taped in less than 3 days. While I love all the designs on the greeting card company sites, I don’t get to design a lot these days so it’s always fun when I can do a project for us. And big shoutout to my printer who has 24 hour turnaround time with free overnight shipping. Love them!
We were able to use a picture from our Santa photo session and I love how it turned out! Here’s the front of our card!
And I used a couple photos from our Santa session and a few from earlier this year to do a collage on the back of the card.
I’m thrilled with the design and the photos! And like I said, I was able to get everything done in like three days! Also, the only way to seal that many envelopes is using a tape gun!
Since our mail had already come the day I finished, I decided to take these to the post office so they would get out a little sooner. I let Jude put them in the drop box and he thought it was the coolest thing ever and actually put all of them in for me!
And here’s our Christmas Cards from last year – Christmas Cards 2014
I’m so excited to be linking up to the Christmas Card link up party hosted by:
![Boo Fest at @midamericaofficial was the best kind of fall day 🎃👻
Luke was all in on Kid’s Boo Fest while Brandon and the big kids headed straight for the roller coasters. The fall food menu is SO good! We tried the Phantom Pizza and other snacks, and the IV drinks at The Blood Bank were a hit. And it isn’t a trip to the park without a waffle cone! 🍦
We bought season passes this year so we could visit all summer and all fall, and I can’t wait to do it again next year!
🎃 Boo Fest is on Saturdays and Sundays from park open until 6pm. It’s the perfect event for little ones, with their favorite rides, a candy trail, spooky story time, and more!
👻 Want to go after dark? Fright Fest runs select nights from 6pm to 11pm. It’s included with park admission and season passes (haunted houses are a separate add-on) and is geared toward teens and adults. Brandon is taking the big boys to experience it. I’m too chicken! 🙈
Head to the @midamericaofficial website for all the dates, times, and tickets.
Thank you, Mid America Adventure, for having us out to experience Boo Fest for the first time!

It’s always a miracle that I get ours sent out in time too but it feels so good when you slip them into the mailbox, doesn’t it? Love your cards! Xo, Stephanie
It’s such a relief once they are in the mail! I hope you had a great holiday!
What a great card! My son is now seven, and he still loves putting all the cards in the mail slot! What fun! (mommyspirit.blogspot.com)
Thank you! Who doesn’t love putting stuff in the mail!
I let Mason mail our cards too and he LOVED it!!! He was so proud mailing all the cards.
Hope you guys had a great Christmas!!
It’s so much fun watching them do things like that! Hope you had a good break too!

Thank you and thanks for hosting such a fun link up! We had a great break, I hope you all did too!
Your cards came out great! I am so totally lame and didn’t mail any this year. :( We weren’t able to fit in any family pictures and I was too bummed about that to send a card!!
Thank you!! And there have been plenty times when I didn’t send cards! :)
