Who doesn't love getting Christmas cards in the mail? Every year I mean to do them and every year time slips away from me and I don't get them done. So this year I decided to involve the babies are start small. Today the babies and I wrote some Christmas cards. They love anything that involves crayons and I think grandmas will enjoy there little card from the babies.
Starting traditions like this now is important to me because I like the idea that they will never remember a time when they didn't send a card to the people they love. It is so nice to have traditions and cards are a great way of letting people know you are thinking about them, so I thought this would be a nice tradition to start. Maybe next year I can be more on the ball and get Christmas cards off to everyone I care about.

I love having my kids decorate cards to send out at Christmas too! One year I printed little nativity coloring postcards and they colored them in for everyone!
ReplyDeleteI am working on painting candy canes, trees, and other Christmas things to put on card stock to give to people from Destructo for Christmas. I am loving this series.
