santa's on his way

I try, year after year to make it happen. I really do.
I have the loftiest of intentions. I resolve to have Christmas cards ready and mailed, I agonize over the cards themselves and buy enough to send to all my far flung family and friends but somehow....the cards remain in their boxes and the season passes and I end up putting them away till the following Christmas where I unearth them only to decide I need a fresh pack.
We have a lot of Christmas cards.

This year was going to be different.
This year, cards would go out AND they would not only arrive on time but they would also include a lovely photo of my two girls in matching dresses in a festive scene.
I made the date, I got the two mice in their dresses and off we went.

You can see what I got.

Amalia Rose was so terrified by the bearded guy she lost her mind.
Bad Santa!
Anika, the little trooper, did an admirable job posing.

I had to laugh and well, cards will go out this year but they won't be on time and they won't have a photo of Santa but they will be special none the less.
