Free Christmas cards from Shutterfly?!

Christmas is very quickly approaching, and I am *trying* to get everything done early this year! It never fails...I usually wait until the last minute on something or another. BUT I refuse to do that this year! Last year I didn't even send out Christmas cards...this year will be a different story. Especially since Shutterfly.com is giving away 50 FREE holiday cards to bloggers! YIPPEE!

I can't decide which one I will get...oh my gosh there are so many to choose from. Here's some I really like...

Although I'm not sure how I will choose. Well anyway, I'm happy about sending out Christmas cards this year...and at the same time I'm bummed about not sending them out last year! I meant to...but of course I had a teeny tiny baby, and was a huge emotional MESS!

Now, I will say I LOVE Shutterfly b/c of the variety of products they have. I used this site for Peyton's birth announcements last year (got 25 of them for $6.95 shipped!) They usually have really good coupons to go with their products. We also ordered Peyton's birthday invitations (you can see a pic of that on a previous blog post) which they turned out super cute! So make sure you check out Christmas invitations, photo cards, calendars and more HERE!

Tomorrow's plan: put up the Christmas tree. I'm hoping Peyton doesn't knock it down or brake any ornaments. If I knew then what I know now, I would've bought the ornaments that don't brake so easily. These will shatter if you flick them! She's pretty good about clasping her hands tightly together at her chest when you say, "No, don't touch!" It's really quite impressive how she responds so well to direction. :) She makes me happy!

On a side note: I'm hoping my spirits will be brighter come Christmas time. We had to get rid of Jackson tonight. He bit Peyton on the hand, and THAT was the straw that broke the camel's back. He's living with my mom now, and although I know I can go see him anytime, it still is so sad for me...and Zoe. She really misses him, and I'm worried that she will be grieving for some time. BUT, I know I have to look out for Peyton's best interest, and Jack was just not changing. I miss the little guy so much...he's been MY dog for the past 7 1/2 (almost 8) years. So, here's to happy memories we're leaving behind with Jackson; I know he has an awesome home. My mom absolutely loves that dog! He's super sweet and incredibly intelligent, but just not good with small children. So tomorrow we're not only putting up the tree, but I'll be trying to lift Zoe's spirits with, perhaps, a new rawhide bone and a toy!
