Christmas Card Pics

Here's some random pictures I took for this years Christmas card. Just thought I would share the cuteness.

2011 Christmas Card

So, this year I was super excited about my Christmas card idea. After it was done I ordered one from Walmart to make sure it looked ok before I ordered the rest. The colors didn't look good, they cut the card crooked, and after 2 days of trying to upload the cards on their site to edit them, I finally went in to try and do it in the store. They were completely unwilling to help and told me to check the site in a couple weeks. Stupid Walmart. Had I known that would happen I would've used pictures from a previous photo shoot instead of doing an entire new one. Waste of time. I'm so done using Walmart photo center. I gave up on my Christmas card idea and did another one. It still ended up darling. Next year I'll just try to keep things as simple as possible. Here's the finished product and Christmas letter.


Here's the Christmas card I worked forever on but Walmart apparently could only print ONE.
No denying it though...cute family!

DAMON AND ORA

Wow, what an amazing year…a year where we’ve been reminded once again of our overflowing blessings! Damon and I celebrate our wedding anniversary on December 18^th. 12 years! Time is flying by! Damon is loving his job at Zenger Folkman and I am loving being home chasing the kids around all day. Our lives are busy busy busy but we love it. I feel we are blessed beyond my wildest dreams. We thought we had the world with our 2 kids, yet didn’t know it could be even greater…baby # 3 to make everything even more perfect. We welcomed Nash McKay into our family on August 22^nd and he is amazing! He weighed 6 lbs 1 oz and was 18 inches long. Perfect. I love how he fits perfectly into our family. I love how Damon can make him laugh so hard. How he nuzzles his head under my chin and holds onto my hair. How Bailee can comfort him better than even his parents. How he can watch Trey play cars forever. It’s all amazing. I could go on forever, but don’t worry, I won’t. I’ll just let the kids do that for me.

BAILEE

My name is Bailee. I’m in 4^th grade and I am 9 1/2 years old! My favorite color is pink. I like holding my baby brother. I also like to ride bikes with Trey. I love to play with Monster High. I like to jump off swings and jump rope. I like to hang out with friends. I love school. I dance and do tumbling. I have the same ballet teacher that my mom had when she was a little girl. What I love about Christmas is going downstairs in the morning and opening up my presents and then hanging out with my family.

TREY

I love Nash. It’s about to be next Christmas. I love my hot wheels and I love my puzzles and I love my mommy. I love my daddy and he tickles me. I love my sister. I love playing with friends. I love doing centers in preschool. I am 4 years old and I am almost 5. My favorite thing to play is video games and football. I love setting up the Christmas tree and putting on the balls. This is my last words. (Translation. “I’m done with this, mom."

NASH

Hey! My name is Nash. AKA Nashy, Nashy Poo, or Nasher Smasher. Since I’m new around here my mom has to write this for me. Things have been pretty awesome, I have to admit. I am what you would call the center of attention. Yeah, I’m spoiled to death. I love to be held but I’m making things a little too easy on my parents because of how much I love my swing. Oh yeah, and my crib. I’ll sleep up to 13 hours at night, sometimes waking up for a bottle, sometimes not. I thought my mom needed a little reminder last night who was the boss around here, so I made her get up twice. Just had to shake things up a bit. My brother and sister ore pretty great. They fight over me, play toys with me, sing me songs, even dance around the room just to keep me smiling. We’ll see how long they can keep this up. It’s pretty sweet. My favorite thing in the world (other than ice cream on my binky), is snuggling. I know I’m supposed to be a man and all, but seriously, snuggling is the best. Ahhhh, life is just plain good.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love, the Argyle family
