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!

    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:)

BabyLegs Giveaway

That's right! A BabyLegs Giveaway!! BUT...this giveway has an extra dose of generosity required for the participants. Can you handle it? BabyLegs has been so great to us, and they have surprised me once again! It all started back when the superb Tricia and Little Miss G sent Braska a pair many moons ago. We'd seen them on a few of our little blog friends, and I thought they were adorable. And the idea of keeping Braska warm while being able to access her g-tube without having to undress her was very appealing. So when we received our surprise pair from our friends out East, we were just plain giddy! I quickly ordered several more pairs to go with her wardrobe. It didn't take anytime at all for BabyLegs to become my standard gift at baby showers, and I especially loved sending them to moms that I found who had fresh little new babies with DS. They're perfect for everyday with a long-sleeved onesie, they are great under a little dress, and they are so helpful with thera...

Peek at tomorrow

This weekend we were at my in-laws' place for a very quick visit. We went largely for a housewarming for Cheryl and Ethon, which was Sunday afternoon. They have a pretty darn cool place, so yay for you guys! Sunday morning pictures are normal, we do them alot. This week, before we left for church, Carole took a few pics of my little poonchin. They didn't all turn out great, as she kept making funny faces and moving at the last second. I stole them off her camera for my collection, and when I looked at this one I just kind of stopped. It's not any super great picture. It's cute, but hey, how could it not be? She's waving at herself, that's the reason the hand is up. But that's not what I saw. Go ahead, click on the picture. Can you see it? I don't see Down syndrome. I don't see a feeding tube. I don't even see a tough cookie, open-heart surgery survivor. It's not my favorite picture of her ever, but I can't hardly stop looking at it. This...
