31 for 21: It’s that time again. Shutterfly time!

Last year Shutterfly sent out a great offer to many bloggers that brought the reward of free Christmas cards.  It made doing Christmas cards so easy and enjoyable, really.  I had gotten out of the habit of doing real cards at Christmas, but I really liked giving and receiving the cards last year.  Here was what we had for our cards last year…

(Funny to me how the girls can look exactly the same, just with KiKi having longer hair…)

So far these are some of my favorites for this year…
From the Christmas card collection.

From the Holiday Card collection.

And the photo books… they are ALWAYS fun to do!

This year, we got a similar offer (YAY!) and in addition to cards for me, they also allow me to give cards to YOU!  Three of you can win codes worth 25 free cards!!! That is worth commenting for, right??

So leave a comment on this post with your FAVORITE part of the holiday season. Is it parties? family traditions? presents? shopping? food??

And I’ll choose 3 winners to receive 25 free cards each on Friday night, 11/5/11.

To get you started, I’ll say that one of my favorite things is the first Christmas event I get to attend. It’s most often a musical event of some kind. I just LOVE Christmas concerts, plays, etc.  I always like to have one in early December to get things kicked off just right…  so far I don’t have one on the calendar, so I’ll be looking for a great one!

Also, more soon on this, but start thinking about the Happy Bloggy Holiday Card Exchange!  I’m hoping we expand to quite a few more than last year!

    I would love to win cards! I haven't done cards either since before my daughter K was born, so that would be fun! My favorite part is definitely the music! Love listening to all that Christmas music- bring it on! That and the decorations!

    While I was in the hospital and nursing homes to visit this afternoon, some of the fam enjoyed a Christmas movie. Yep, Oct. 30.

    I love Christmas! I grew up in Kansas City and every year on Thanksgiving night they have a big party down on the Plaza and have a lighting ceremony. We count down and then all the lights on all the buildings come on all at once. It's really cool. Last year was the first Christmas for my baby girl so my husband recreated that for us. We stood outside and counted down to his lighting of our house. It's our new family tradition!

    There are many things I love about the holiday season. The Christmas trees, songs, movies and family gatherings.. but I also like being born three days after Jesus:)

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h...

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so...

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle...
