A Tiny Prints Review

My favorite season is Fall, the beautiful leaves, the vibrant colors, and the perfect temperatures...and with that it means...

Time for family pictures!

Family pictures that will then be put on our annual Christmas Card!

This year Tiny Prints has some of the most ADORABLE Christmas Cards for us to choose from, some of which are not your standard Christmas card.  They have the traditional, but they also have little photo card books as well as ornament shaped ones (complete with a ribbon for you to hang up) 

The one that I have been admiring is called Berry Love, go and check it out...along with there many other selections!

We love sending our Christmas cards, but also receiving them as well, it is always fun to see how families have grown and one way we love to display our Christmas Cards is to cover our door with them.  Our kids LOVE to look at the pictures and they get very excited at who they all know!

We love Christmas and a tradition that we are excited about continuing this year is the "Elf on a Shelf" which is becoming more and more popular, but this gets the kids excited about Christmas the day after Thanksgiving because they know that "Buddy the Elf" will be visiting and keeping watch over them to see if they are being good or bad and then at night when they are sleeping he reports back to Santa.  Every day he is in a new spot and the kids always love to search to find him.  Another Tradition we love is being with my husband's family Christmas Eve and then being with my family on Christmas Day, spending time with those that we love, enjoying great food, and celebrating the true reason of the season which is the Birth of Jesus!

I know that we are not even at Thanksgiving right now, but it is that time to get the Christmas cards ready and sent out because before we know it, Christmas will indeed be here! 

I am really hoping to get the Berry Love Cards this year...so go check out Tiny Prints and let me know what fun Christmas cards you see and create for your cards this year. 

I have a confession...

There is a place I go to daily...

Where I can look at many different items...get many different ideas...

I can also go to this site and be uplifted, laugh a little...

And I am not the only one...

Do you want to know where I go to daily?

Hello, my name is Traci, and I am addicted to Pinterest!

If you have not checked it out...you should!

So Go...check it out!

I'm back...it's been awhile...

I just realized tonight that I have not posted anything on my blog since August...wow!  

For the few people who read this, I am sorry...

An Update on our family...

Aspen has really been enjoying the first grade, but boy is she tired at the end of the day...

During the first quarter of school she took part in Science club and also gymnastics.  She is learning so much...she is reading at around a second grade level and LOVES math!  We also just recently began going to a different church and she has been memorizing scripture like crazy, and each time she recites verses to Zac and I it brings a smile to our face (and her little brother is even catching on).

Big news too...she accepted Jesus as her forever friend...something that Zac and I have been praying for since she was born. We love our little girl so much!

What's going on with our little red head?  He is still a mama's boy, does not want to leave my side and always tells me that I am his favorite!  He loves coming to work with me (and I love it to) and has made some really great friends there.  He is talking so much and LOVES cars!  We are working on potty training and we hope that it clicks soon...because sooner than later he will be turning 4 (I still cannot believe that)...my little man is going to be 4...WOW!  We love our little boy so much, he has a contagious laugh, full of energy, and is just so much fun!

Zac and I...this September we celebrated 7 years of marriage and we feel so blessed by all that God has given us.  He has brought the two of us together, he has blessed us with two beautiful children, a home, jobs, wonderful friends and family, we just cannot thank Him enough for all that He has done and all that He is going to do.  We are looking forward to many, many, many, more years together!

And here we are...the four of us!  We have been enjoying the beautiful fall MN weather...spending lots of time outdoors, going to the zoo, the park, spending time with family and friends, enjoying the crisp fall air, the perfect fall temps, and just enjoying EVERYTHING!  

Keep looking back at my blog...I promise you that I will be better at updating!  In the meantime with Thanksgiving around the corner, please take time each day to jot down what it is you are thankful for!

Last but not least...I need to give a shout out to my beautiful friend MISTY who took our pictures...she just did a wonderful job and PLEASE check her out on facebook under LiveLaughLens Photography!
