Due to limited budget, we didn’t send these out to everyone we know.

However, this is my favorite Christmas Card to date.  I think the reason is it so very appropriate.  After my third child, life got a little faster.

We had it printed via Vista Print.  Single fold card with envelop around $0.40 per card.

Front

You might recognize the Google Calendar in the background.  Although those are real calendar entries but they didn’t all occur in a week (basketball and baseball are not at the same time).  However, we typically have crazy weeks like that.  We often “divide and conquer.”  The kids were shot against a white back muslin that was later photoshopped out.

Inside

This was a challenging picture.  The lighting had to just perfect.  I used a black muslin backdrop.  The basket has a string of Christmas lights.  Notice:  I had to feed the cord through the basket so that it didn’t loop over the edge of the basket.  In addition, I think there was a Matchbox car or two for the little guy to look at it.  I bet I took over 50 pictures to get this one.  Many outtakes.
