Searching for Christmas Cards

So I previously blogged that Mikey and I decided to not do birth announcement, and just send out holiday cards with pictures of us as a family.  Since Micah was born in the middle of November, and Christmas is right around the corner, We decided that it would make more sense to send one card for both events than to send two cards and clog up peoples mailboxes with even more mail.

I started looking online, and found a great deal for bloggers HERE.  Fifty free holiday cards!  Sounds like a winner to me.  Now to choose the card I want to use.  Here are some that I like.  Now to decide which one.

Here are the cards that I am interested in:

 

I chose all of them because of the color scheme, and the fact that pictures can be added.  I like the message on Card 1, and the pattern around the border.   I like the snowflakes on Card 2, and that it allows me to add more than one picture.  That's more pictures of Micah, since I am notorious for not being able to make what should be a simple decision.  You know, like choosing one photo for a Christmas card.  I must admit, that the final card, Card 3, is the one that I think is my favorite.  Again, I love that it gives me space for even more photos.  Once again that's more pictures of Micah.  I also love the modern look of the card, and the color scheme.  It is probably the card that I will choose, but the others draw me also.

Now the only thing left to do is to decide on what to wear and take family pictures for the cards.  This should be fun.  Did I mention that Mikey and I love taking pictures.  I hope Micah does also, because he has a lifetime of cameras flashing in his face.

And in other news, Micah spent his first night in his crib.  Or at least he started out that way.  I must admit that it only lasted about two hours, before he moved into bed with me.  It was just easier that way. We did a little nursing, and got up at about 4:30 am for a bottle of expressed milk to give mommy a break.    Then we went back to sleep until 6:00 am, and finally got up for the day at 9:00 am.  Here's a picture of him in his crib.
