Oh Christmas Card, Oh Christmas Card

Yosemite Valley Overlook-2008

Each year I have such drama trying to get a card together and this year is no different. Costco lost my order, then they printed them too dark, they finally got it right on Christmas Eve. Then I am missing addresses. The waste of paper and the cost of stamps makes me grumpy. But alas, they are out (to those of you whose addresses I have) and once again I am glad I made the effort. It is kind of nice to use them as a marker for time-a quick way to see how our family is changing. Here is this year's card picture (for those of you who didn't get one-sorry) and the pictures of years past.

White Sands National Monument-New Mexico-2007


Glacier Bay-Alaska-2006

Lake Arenal-Costa Rica-2005

Our Old Living Room (so exotic that you can't go there anymore)-2004


Provo Center Street-2003
Okay, this wasn't our card picture, but look how young we WERE!

And this tour takes me to back before when we had a digital camera, okay, that makes us really old. I'm not sure I can even remember not having a digital camera. No more pics.

Thanks for walking down memory lane with me. Have a happy new year!

Speaking of the new year, I wonder where 2009 will take the Howell family? We've got some ideas, but we're taking suggestions!

We suggest coming to Tucson. We can come up with all sorts of great photo ops.

Look at you two aging so gracefully. Ok, so Andy's gotten a little scurvy, but you are still absolutely Georgissimo and becoming more and more so with your "Mom-glow"- Patient pending. (JK Andy- scruffy, I meant scruffy). Um, can I suggest a spot for next years Christmas pics? We miss you guys.
